FREE MATH LESSON - “Counting Coins Made Easy! (Sample Pages)”

by Nicole Rios
1st - 3rd Grade


Are your students having a difficult time with counting coins? The Magic Money method has worked for me for the last 9 years of teaching money to 1st and 2nd graders. This download includes:

- a chart that students might place in their homework/classroom folders with realistic, dual-sided pictures of each coin, coin values, a chant for each coin, and the placement of the dots that will aid them in counting the coins.

- a one-sheet parent explanation of how the Magic Money system works, and how to use it to help their child become successful at counting coins at home

- a hundred chart that specifically aids children in becoming fluent at counting by 5's (a necessary sub-skill for using this method)

-a coin counting worksheet sample with answer key

-a sample word problem page

This method will work for the vast majority of your students. Don't worry about them relying on the dots. With time, they will begin to chunk larger values together until they are counting coins in a more traditional way.

If you find this download helpful, this product is part of a larger download "Counting Coins Made Easy with Differentiated Materials" that you can find HERE.

I also offer an ActivInspire flipchart to accompany these learning materials HERE.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt”

by Juggling ELA
6th - 12th Grade


I love William Shakespeare. I love the language, the time-period he lived in, and the timeless themes that his plays have. I tend to teach a lot of Shakespeare. I like to do the Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt in my school’s library but you can do it in the computer lab as well. It’s just a basic series of questions about Shakespeare and his time-period. I like to have my students go to the library because it gives them a chance to move around. Doing a scavenger hunt like this is also more fun than just sitting there and reading a biography about the author. This activity can be done individually or in a group. I usually give a prize to the winner. I like to give five points on the next quiz as a prize. It's a fun way to start any Shakespeare unit. I have included an answer key for your convenience.

*I have updated this item to include the Common Core State Standards for grades 6-12.

Now That School's Out. What Will We Do for the Summer?


Summer is the time for fun, fun, fun! School is out no more hitting the books. The only problem is that much of what was learned during the school year is forgotten, “out of sight, out of mind.” Not so with these fun educational activities that will keep the children looking for more and not even realizing they're learning.
