Counting Money Canadian Nickels Dimes Quarters 10 Coins Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 maths practice for counting mixed Canadian nickels, dimes and quarters in groups of up to 10 coins.
Practice that builds confidence
What this money skill covers
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children count Canadian nickels, dimes and quarters when up to 10 coins are shown together. Children practise using the values 5¢, 10¢ and 25¢, then add the coins to write the total amount in cents.
The printable activities include mixed coin groups, clear coin pictures and answer spaces for totals. They are useful for building skip-counting, careful observation and real-life money sense without moving beyond the listed Canadian coins.
Children work with three Canadian coin values: nickel = 5¢, dime = 10¢ and quarter = 25¢. The focus is not on buying items or making change; it is on recognising the coins and finding the total value of a set containing up to 10 coins. This makes the worksheets a good bridge between skip-counting and practical money maths.
How the practice progresses
The activities move from simpler groups, such as several nickels or dimes, to mixed sets that may include all three coin types. Children learn that coin size does not decide value: a dime is smaller than a nickel but is worth more. They also practise writing amounts clearly with the cent sign, for example 45¢ or 80¢.
A simple routine for parents
At home, first review the three values aloud: 5, 10 and 25 cents. Ask your child to circle or touch all quarters, then all dimes, then all nickels before adding. For a worksheet row, let the child say the running total out loud: “25, 50, 60, 70, 75.” If an answer is wrong, return to the coins instead of only correcting the number.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets during a counting money lesson, as independent maths practice, or in a small-group centre for learners who need repeated exposure to coin values. They also work well after a skip-counting revision: 5s support nickels, 10s support dimes, and quarters stretch children to combine 25s with 10s and 5s.
Common errors to watch for
Many children count the number of coins instead of the value of the coins. Others mix up nickel and dime values, or add in the order the coins appear and lose track. Encourage grouping by coin type and checking the final total against the number of coins shown. With up to 10 coins, neat marking and one-by-one counting are especially important.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets give focused practice on one clearly defined money skill, so children are not distracted by unrelated currencies or advanced change-making.
