Counting Money Dimes Quarters Cdn Practice Activities
Printable Class 1 maths activities for counting Canadian dimes and quarters using 10-cent and 25-cent coin values.
Practice that builds confidence
Building coin value
These Class 1 counting money worksheets help children practise Canadian dimes and quarters, focusing on the values 10 cents and 25 cents. Children learn to identify each coin, count repeated coins, and find the total value in cents.
The printable activities include clear coin groups, mixed dime-and-quarter sets, matching tasks, total-value questions, and simple money pictures. They support careful counting, skip-counting, and early confidence with real-world maths vocabulary.
Canadian dimes and quarters are useful first money models because each coin has a fixed value: a dime is 10 cents and a quarter is 25 cents. These worksheets help Class 1 children connect the coin name, picture, and value before asking them to count totals. Learners see that three dimes make 30 cents, while two quarters make 50 cents.
From equal groups to mixed coins
The practice moves from easier groups of one coin type to mixed sets of dimes and quarters. Children may count dimes by 10s and quarters by 25s, then combine the amounts. For example, 2 quarters and 3 dimes can be counted as 25, 50, then 60, 70, 80 cents. This builds flexible thinking without introducing unnecessary written currency notation too early.
A simple home routine
At home, place a few real or paper coins on the table. Ask your child to sort dimes and quarters first, say each value aloud, and then count the total. Keep the numbers small at first: 1 quarter and 2 dimes, or 4 dimes. After the worksheet, ask, “Which coin did you count first? Why?” This short conversation reveals whether the child is counting values or only counting the number of coins.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages in maths centres, small-group support, or quick revision after introducing money. One group can sort and label coins, another can solve the worksheet totals, and a third can explain answers using number lines or skip-counting. The pages also work well for partner checking, where children compare totals and point to each coin as they count.
Common errors and a quick strategy
Watch for children treating every coin as 1, counting quarters by 10, or adding coin values in a random order and losing track. A child-friendly strategy is: “Name, group, count.” Name the coins, group the same coins together, count the bigger value coins first, then add the rest. Touching or lightly marking each coin helps avoid double counting.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What coin values do these worksheets practise?
They focus on Canadian dimes worth 10 cents and quarters worth 25 cents, including single-coin groups and mixed dime-and-quarter totals.
Are these worksheets suitable for Class 1 children who are new to money?
Yes. The practice starts with recognising coin values and counting simple groups before moving to mixed sets of dimes and quarters.
Should children count dimes or quarters first?
For mixed sets, it is often easier to count quarters first by 25s and then add dimes by 10s. Grouping the same coins before counting also helps.
Do children need real Canadian coins to use the worksheets?
Real coins are helpful but not required. Children can use the printed coin pictures, paper coin cut-outs, or classroom play money while solving.
