Meeting Common Core State Standards
This Really Good Stuff® Pennies Place Value Poster and Mats Kit
is aligned with the following Common Core State Standards
for Mathematics:
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
1.4
Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a onedigit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of
10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on
place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship
between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a
written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that
in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and
ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
2.5
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based
on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship
between addition and subtraction.
2.6
Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on
place value and properties of operations.
2.9
Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using
place value and the properties of operations.

Introducing the Pennies Place Value Poster & Mats Kit
Gather small groups of up to four students where the Pennies
Place Value Activity Mats can be laid out, the Poster is nearby, and
the space is available for reference and recording. Also be sure to
distribute dry erase markers and pennies or counters as visual aids
to each student. Begin by drawing students’ attention to the money
pictured at the top of the Poster. Discuss the value of each coin and
how they are related.
Using dice, number cards, or a class-generated addition combination
list, model how to select two numbers, count them out individually
with counters, and place them in the correct column. (For example,
for 4 + 6 = 10, you would count out 4 pennies or counters, and record
the number 4 in the penny column. Repeat with the number 6. Count
the 10 counters, and record 10 on the Poster, placing the 1 in the
dime column and the 0 in the penny column.) Repeat this for several
familiar addition combinations, inviting students to assist you in lining
up the numbers and determining the sum. Once students are ready,
allow them to try several money addition combinations on their own.
Once all students are familiar with the Pennies Place Value Poster and
Mats Kit, place the Poster (programed with an example), and Activity
Mats, dry erase markers, counters or coins, and a list of addition
combinations (or dice or number cards) in a math center. Explain to
students that they are ready to challenge themselves to use addition
combination with several addends.
Roll It Out!
Copy, cut apart, and distribute one Roll It Out Record Sheets
Reproducible to four students. Divide the four students into pairs
and give each student a Pennies Place Value Activity Mat and a dry
erase marker. Also give each pair a set of counters (pennies) and
two dice. Tell pairs to decide who will go first. Indicate that as the
first student from each pair rolls the dice and creates an addition
combination based on those two numbers, he or she is to count the
correct number of pennies to show the addition combination. (For
example, if a student were to roll a 5 and a 3, he or she would count
out 5 pennies, then 3 more, making 8 pennies in all). That student
adds the two numbers on his or her reproducible, paying special
attention to the columns and ensuring the numbers are lined up
correctly according to their place value. He or she is to transfer the
addition combination to his or her Activity Mat. Partners check the
addition combination on the reproducible and the sum on the Activity
Mat. Afterward, his or her partner repeats this process.
Instruct the pairs that each time a student rolls the dice, the
addition combination is added to their previous number. Remind
students that all work is done on the Roll It Out Record Sheets
Reproducible and the sums are added to the Activity Mat. The first
partner to reach 100 (or higher) wins.
Variations:
• Add another die and have pairs create addition combinations
with multiple addends.
• Tell pairs to start the game with 100 pennies and every time
they roll the dice, students are to subtract the numbers—until
one of them reaches 0 first and wins.
Say It Ain’t So!
Gather small groups of up to four students where the Pennies Place
Value Activity Mats can be laid out and the Poster is nearby for
students to use. Give each student a dry erase marker. Display a
word problem. Tell students that they will learn to record the problem
as a simple addition combination on their Activity Mats: Model
how a word problem is read, the key words to listen for in order to
determine if the problem requires adding or subtracting, and how
the numbers should be lined up on the Activity Mat according to
their place value. Once students are ready to work independently, tell
students that you will display word problems in a math center for
them to work on throughout the day.
Here are a few word problems to use as examples:
• Kelly had six pennies, John gave her five more pennies. How many
pennies does Kelly have in all?
• Sam had a lemonade stand, and he made 6 cents on Monday, 3
cents on Tuesday, and 10 cents on Wednesday. How much money
did Sam make in all?
• Jacob went to the store with two dimes. He bought a toy car for
10 cents and a lollipop for 5 cents. How much money does Jacob
have left?
Sum It Up!
Copy and distribute the Sum It Up! Reproducible. Instruct students
to look at the coins and determine their value. Tell students to
create an addition combination that represents these coins and to
find their sum. Use this activity for students to practice lining up
and adding on the Activity Mats, using dry erase markers.
Answers: 1) 5 + 3 = 8, 2) 10 + 12 = 22, 3) 30 + 10 = 40,
4) 8 + 2 + 3 = 13, 5) 25 + 20 + 3 = 48, 6) 50 + 50 = 1.00
