Easter Egg Math Center: Coin Recognition and Money Counting

Learning how to recognize coins and count money are tough concepts for children to grasp. Children learn best with hands-on activities.  We also think using real money, as opposed to play money, gives this math activity more authenticity.

Today’s activity is an Easter egg hunt that could be used an a math center for spring in kindergarten and first grade classrooms. If you are a homeschooler, you could hide the eggs around house or yard like I did!

We’ve also added free data sheets so they can record their findings. One sheet is for coin recognition and the second sheet is for counting their findings.

    I love this idea! However when I clicked on the two pages, they were both the coin recognition one.

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
