Counting Coins and Dollar Bills: Grade 2 Money Worksheet

About this worksheet

How much is in the bank? Six rows mix one dollar bills with quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, and four answer choices sit beside each. The child counts and colors the bubble under the right one. Three rows include dollar bills and are written in dollars, like $1.35 and $2.21, while the other three are all coins and stay in cents.

The wrong choices are the near misses children actually make: $1.30 next to $1.35, or $2.12 next to $2.21 for two bills, two dimes and a penny. That makes it a quick way to see whether a child is reading the dollar sign and decimal point correctly, the new piece of notation 2nd grade brings in.

• Count dollar bills together with coins
