Students with learning disabilities can have extreme difficulty counting money. So, these are the steps I used to scaffold learning. First lesson, pre-teach coin values. Student writes the value right on the face of the coin.
Second lesson, use blocks to represent coin values.
Student place corresponding blocks with coins of the same value.
Student can then add blocks incrementally.
When quarters and half-dollars are taught, I use real coins...
and write the value with a sharpie on the back of each coin.
(Sharpies are erasable)
When counting money, the student can place the coin to match the pictures on the worksheet.
(I find student confuse nickels with quarters, so this is a useful technique)
