Teaching dimes and counting by 10
This worksheet gives students groups of dimes to count, which is one of the first places where skip counting becomes useful with money. Because every dime is worth 10 cents, students count by tens: 10, 20, 30, and so on, and write the total for each group.
Before printing, show students a real dime or a picture of one and ask what it is worth. Many children assume a dime is worth less than a nickel because it is smaller, so it helps to say the value out loud as they touch each coin. Using real dimes to model a few groups first makes the worksheet much easier to complete independently.
Once students can count dimes confidently, they are ready to mix coins, such as counting dimes together with pennies or nickels.
