How do you teach making change to second graders?

Start with counting up from the price to the amount paid. For example, if something costs 63 cents and you pay with 75 cents: count 63, 64, 65 (2 pennies), 70 (1 nickel), 75 (1 nickel). Worksheets that show the counting-up method with coin images make this concrete.

When should second graders learn about dollar bills?

Dollar bills are typically introduced in second grade alongside coins. Students learn that 100 cents equals one dollar and practice converting between dollars and cents. Worksheets that mix coin counting with dollar amounts help students connect cents to the dollar system.
