Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given two parts:
Part 1: Name each coin using the word bank.
Word bank: Quarter, Dime, Nickel, Penny
We need to look at each coin and match it to its name based on how it looks.
Here’s how we can tell them apart:
-
Quarter: Largest silver coin, has George Washington’s head (front) or an eagle (back). Worth 25 cents.
-
Dime: Smallest silver coin, has Franklin D. Roosevelt’s head (front) or a torch/olive branch (back). Worth 10 cents.
-
Nickel: Medium-sized silver coin, has Thomas Jefferson’s head (front) or Monticello (back). Worth 5 cents.
-
Penny: Copper-colored coin, has Abraham Lincoln’s head (front) or Lincoln Memorial (back). Worth 1 cent.
Now let’s go row by row in Part 1:
First Row:
1. Coin with George Washington →
Quarter
2. Coin with Monticello (building) →
Nickel (this is the back of a nickel)
3. Coin with eagle →
Quarter (this is the back of a quarter)
4. Copper coin with “ONE CENT” →
Penny
Second Row:
1. Small silver coin with Roosevelt →
Dime
2. Small silver coin with torch/branches →
Dime (back of dime)
3. Coin with Jefferson →
Nickel
4. Copper coin with Lincoln →
Penny
So for Part 1, the names are:
Row 1: Quarter, Nickel, Quarter, Penny
Row 2: Dime, Dime, Nickel, Penny
—
Part 2: What is the value of each given coin in cents?
We use the same identification, but now write the value in cents.
Remember:
- Quarter = 25¢
- Dime = 10¢
- Nickel = 5¢
- Penny = 1¢
Now go row by row:
First Row:
1. Jefferson → Nickel →
5¢
2. Eagle → Quarter →
25¢
3. Lincoln (penny) →
1¢
4. Roosevelt → Dime →
10¢
Second Row:
1. “ONE CENT” → Penny →
1¢
2. Torch/branches → Dime →
10¢
3. Monticello → Nickel →
5¢
4. Washington → Quarter →
25¢
So for Part 2, the values are:
Row 1: 5¢, 25¢, 1¢, 10¢
Row 2: 1¢, 10¢, 5¢, 25¢
—
Final Answer:
Part 1 – Coin Names:
Row 1: Quarter, Nickel, Quarter, Penny
Row 2: Dime, Dime, Nickel, Penny
Part 2 – Coin Values in Cents:
Row 1: 5¢, 25¢, 1¢, 10¢
Row 2: 1¢, 10¢, 5¢, 25¢
