A warm-up for the start of class, before students play or start the worksheet. It reviews skip counting and coins using things students see every day, then asks them to think ahead about which coins are worth more. Two tickets print on each page; cut along the dashed line. The answer key prints on its own page after it.

Answer Key: Entry Ticket

Money Warm-Up

30¢
Yes: 10, 20, 25. That's exactly 25¢.
20, 25
3 dimes (30¢) is worth more than 1 quarter (25¢), even though the quarter is bigger.

Quick read: students who say the quarter on #4 because it's bigger are judging coins by size; spend the first minutes of the lesson on coin values.
