It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Identifying Coins" that asks students to color different U.S. coins based on their type, using a color code:

- Quarter → Red
- Dime → Yellow
- Nickel → Blue
- Penny → Green

🔍 Task:


The goal is to identify each coin in the grid and color it according to the key.

Step-by-step Solution:



#### 1. Understand the Coins:
Each coin has distinct features:
- Quarter: Larger size, shows George Washington (same as the others), but it’s larger than a dime or nickel.
- Dime: Smallest coin, also shows Franklin D. Roosevelt (but sometimes people confuse this with others).
- Nickel: Medium-sized, shows Thomas Jefferson.
- Penny: Smallest of all? No — actually, pennies are larger than dimes, but smaller than quarters. Shows Abraham Lincoln.

But since these are black-and-white images, we must rely on size and design details.

Wait — let's look at what's shown.

In this worksheet, all the coins show the same portrait (likely George Washington), which is confusing because:
- Quarters have George Washington
- Dimes have Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Nickels have Thomas Jefferson
- Pennies have Abraham Lincoln

But in your image, all coins show the same face — probably a simplified version for educational purposes. So instead, we need to use size and text.

Let’s analyze typical distinguishing features:

| Coin | Size | Text on Coin (common) | Portrait |
|--------|-------------|------------------------|----------|
| Quarter | Largest | "LIBERTY", "QUARTER DOLLAR" | George Washington |
| Dime | Smallest | "LIBERTY", "ONE DIME" | Franklin D. Roosevelt |
| Nickel | Medium | "LIBERTY", "FIVE CENTS" | Thomas Jefferson |
| Penny | Small (slightly larger than dime) | "LIBERTY", "ONE CENT" | Abraham Lincoln |

But again, in this worksheet, all portraits look similar — likely simplified.

So the best way is to use size and labeling.

Wait — looking closely at the worksheet, each coin has text around the edge. That’s key!

🧩 How to Identify Each Coin:


Look at the text printed on the edge of the coin:

- If it says "QUARTER DOLLAR"Quarter → Color Red
- If it says "ONE DIME"Dime → Color Yellow
- If it says "FIVE CENTS"Nickel → Color Blue
- If it says "ONE CENT"Penny → Color Green

So, the solution is to look at the text on each coin and color accordingly.

🎨 Instructions for Solving:


1. Scan each coin in the grid.
2. Read the text on the rim of the coin.
3. Match the text to the coin name:
- "QUARTER DOLLAR" → Red
- "ONE DIME" → Yellow
- "FIVE CENTS" → Blue
- "ONE CENT" → Green
4. Color each coin accordingly.

---

💡 Example:


- A coin with "QUARTER DOLLAR" → Color red
- A coin with "ONE CENT" → Color green
- A coin with "FIVE CENTS" → Color blue
- A coin with "ONE DIME" → Color yellow

---

📝 Final Answer:


To solve this worksheet:
> Color each coin based on the text written on it using the following key:
> - Quarter (says "QUARTER DOLLAR") → Red
> - Dime (says "ONE DIME") → Yellow
> - Nickel (says "FIVE CENTS") → Blue
> - Penny (says "ONE CENT") → Green

Then go through each coin in the grid and apply the correct color.

Since I can't see the actual colors or interact with the image directly, I can’t fill it in for you — but now you know how to do it! Just check the text on each coin and color it accordingly.
