1-2-3 Come Make A Venn Diagram With Me!

coin Venn diagrams, coin activities, President's Day lessons, comparing and contrasting activities, penny activities, nickel activities, dime activities, quarter activities, coin lessons, Venn diagrams, coin crafts, President's Day lessons, math centers, coin centers, Comparison and contrast is an important concept for children to understand.  An easy way for them to visualize this and get their thoughts organized is through a Venn diagram.

Comparing and contrasting coins, will help your little ones remember them.  By examinining and analyzing the similarities and differences, something will stick in their mind to help them differentiate.

I've made a coin Venn for each of the combinations of comparison.  (i.e. penny with a nickel, penny with a dime and penny with a quarter etc.)

Students choose two coins, cut and glue them to their Venn diagram paper, so that they overlap a bit, and then write their results above the coins.

Flip And Find Out

coin flipbook, penny activities, nickel activities, dime activities, quarter activities, Presidents' Day activities, Presidents day lessons, coin identification lessons, identifying coins, coin booklet, February crafts, February centers, Are you studying coins with your kiddo’s this month?

February was the month that I really started working quite a bit on coin identification.

It seemed like the ideal month, as two Presidents that we would be learning about for Presidents’ Day, were on the penny and quarter.

One of the activities that my Y5’s really enjoyed was making a coin flipbook.

I set this up as a center activity that they could do independently.

Students cut and glued the matching coins to the cover and then cut on the lines to make the flaps, that when lifted, would reveal information underneath that they filled in.

Information includes the name of the coin, the color, the value, what President is on the coin and how many tally marks it takes to make the value of the coin.

Teachers can take it a step farther and have students make crayon rubs of the various coins, cut out their best efforts and glue them under the flaps that match the appropriate coins.

After all, counting to 100 can get quite boring for some little ones, and extremely frustrating for those kiddo's whose light bulbs haven't lit up yet. With that in mind, I designed the Q-tip mud craftivity to the right.  Students dab brown paint on the 10 groups of 10 dots on the dirty piggy.  For less mess, children could use a brown crayon to color in the dots.

I decided to combine coins with penguins, as that’s a popular theme that many study in January, thus Cent-sational Penguins was born.

It’s an easy and fun way to review a variety of math and reading standards in a short amount of time.

Students trace and write the coin word and its value. They also circle the capital letters, add end punctuation, as well as color, cut and glue the matching coins.

There are additional writing opportunities, as students think of alliterative nouns and verbs to complete the last sentences.
