Money Counting 7 - Large Totals

💡Tips for Parents

▸ Why It Matters These are numbered practice tokens, not a representation of any national currency. Add the printed values; picture size and the number of pictures do not give the total. This worksheet has four to six coins in every one of the eight rows and totals that cross past 100 for the first time. One row, four 25-value coins plus a 10, totals 110, while most others land between 65 and 95. Two six-coin rows mix 25s, 10s, and 5s, taking a child through three separate skip-counts before reaching the last coin. There are no penny-value coins here, so every count moves in fives, tens, or twenty-fives — good practice, but it still takes real concentration when six coins stack together. ▸ Getting Started With up to six coins in a row, have your child group same-value coins before adding — all the 25s, then the 10s, then any 5s — separating them with a finger or pencil on the page. For the two six-coin rows especially, writing the groups as three short lists on scratch paper, rather than counting straight across, keeps the numbers from collapsing into one long, error-prone string. Some children prefer counting the highest-value coins first out loud ("25, 50, 75...") and switching to tens and fives once the big jumps are locked in, since starting small feels less rewarding. ▸ If They Get Stuck If a total feels too big to hold in their head, have your child write a running subtotal after each group instead of adding every coin at once — 25s first, then the 10s, then the 5s — checking that the total only grows, never shrinks. On the row that totals 110, a common mistake is stopping after the four 25-coins at a tidy 100 and forgetting the extra 10; double-check that every coin got counted, not just the ones that add up neatly. Another frequent slip is mixing up the 5 and 10 coins, since they're printed in the same gray tone — pointing to the number stamped on each coin, rather than judging by size, avoids that error. ▸ Praise Points Praise the persistence it takes to carry a running total through five or six coins without losing track — staying organized through a long row is exactly what larger totals demand, and it pays off well beyond this worksheet. Getting 110 right, including that final dime after four 25s, shows your child isn't stopping early just because a round number like 100 feels finished. If they catch themselves double-checking a tricky row, point that out too — self-checking deserves as much celebration as the correct answer.

🎯What This Worksheet Builds

Builds stamina for longer totals by having the child track a running sum across four to six coins in every one of the eight rows, using only 5, 10, and 25 value coins throughout. Totals cross into three digits for the first time in the series, one row requires three separate skip-counts in sequence, and two six-coin rows demand careful grouping so the count doesn't collapse partway through.

👉Next Step

Once large totals across four to six coins feel manageable, move on to Money Counting 8, the series finale. It mixes all four coin values — including pennies again — freely within each row, with no fixed grouping pattern to lean on, so your child has to decide how to organize and group the coins themselves before adding, rather than following an order the page suggests for them.
