Ready to print

Start with a ready-made worksheet

Choose a banknote denomination and cut apart the one-sided educational representations with adult support. Use the pieces for the teacher’s activity. The sheet is an unscored reference, and the specimen images are reduced teaching copies rather than money.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use paper note representations to reason about equal values and repeated whole-dollar amounts.

Worked example

How many $5 teaching-note pieces represent $20?

4 pieces.

Counting the value gives 5, 10, 15 and 20 dollars. Four is the number of pieces, while 20 dollars is the value they represent. Keep those two quantities separate when describing the exchange.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Introduce the printed denomination and specimen appearance before using the pieces in role-play.
  • Combine sheets of two denominations for equivalence demonstrations only after each value is familiar.
  • For Kindergarten, use adult-led naming or matching as enrichment. Larger values and independent exchanges need additional number knowledge.
