Ready to print

Start with a ready-made worksheet

Use only the information belonging to the fictional payment. Complete the payee, date and matching numerical and written amounts. The checks are conspicuously marked for practice and are not valid for payment; blank versions are unscored teaching templates.

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

Represent one payment consistently using a date, payee, numerical amount and amount written in words.

Worked example

A fictional club payment to Cedar Art Club is $24.35. How should the two amount fields agree?

The numerical amount is $24.35; the written amount is Twenty-four and 35/100 dollars.

Both entries describe 24 whole dollars and 35 cents. The fraction 35/100 records the cent portion of a dollar. The payee field names Cedar Art Club rather than repeating the payer’s name.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Use fictional names and addresses for classroom work, and discuss what each field communicates.
  • Check the two amount representations against one another before checking spelling or handwriting.
  • Use the blank or compact template for a modeled lesson before assigning the scenario version. The compact sheet still retains the worksheet’s Name, Score, Teacher and Date fields.
