Step-by-step solution for: Count and Color - U.S. Coin Activities - A Teachable Teacher
To solve this "Count & Color" puzzle, we need to identify each coin and color it according to the key at the top of the page.
Step 1: Understand the Color Key
* Penny (shows Abraham Lincoln) → Color Pink
* Nickel (shows Thomas Jefferson) → Color Purple
* Dime (shows Franklin D. Roosevelt, smallest coin) → Color Blue
* Quarter (shows George Washington, largest coin) → Color Green
Step 2: Identify and Count Each Coin
Let's look through the mosaic shapes to find how many of each coin there are.
* Pennies (Lincoln):
* There is one in the bottom left corner.
* There is one near the bottom middle.
* There is one on the right side, about halfway down.
* There is one in the very bottom right corner.
* *Total Pennies:* 4
* Nickels (Jefferson):
* There is one on the far left edge, second from the top.
* There is one in the center-left area.
* There is one in the bottom left area.
* There is one in the bottom right area.
* *Total Nickels:* 4
* Dimes (Roosevelt - Smallest coins):
* There is one near the top left.
* There is one near the top middle.
* There is one in the center.
* There is one on the right side, near the top.
* There is one on the far right edge, middle.
* There is one near the bottom right.
* *Total Dimes:* 6
* Quarters (Washington - Largest coins):
* There is one in the top left corner.
* There is one in the top middle.
* There is one in the top right corner.
* There is one on the left edge, middle.
* There is one in the center-right area.
* There is one on the far right edge, lower middle.
* There is one in the bottom middle.
* *Total Quarters:* 7
*(Self-Correction/Verification: Let's double-check the counts by scanning row by row roughly.)*
* Top Row: Quarter (TL), Dime, Quarter (TM), Quarter (TR).
* Second Row down: Nickel (Left), Penny? No, that's a Nickel. Wait, let's look closer at the specific profiles.
* Top Left: Quarter.
* Next to it: Dime.
* Next: Quarter.
* Far Right Top: Quarter.
* Below Top Left Quarter: Nickel.
* Below that Nickel: Quarter.
* Center Top: Dime.
* Right of Center Top: Dime.
* Far Right, below top quarter: Dime.
* Left Edge, middle: Quarter.
* Center Left: Nickel.
* Center: Dime.
* Center Right: Quarter.
* Far Right Middle: Dime.
* Bottom Left Corner: Penny.
* Above Bottom Left Corner: Nickel.
* Bottom Middle Left: Nickel.
* Bottom Middle: Quarter.
* Bottom Right Area: Penny.
* Above that Penny: Quarter.
* Bottom Right Corner: Penny.
* Above Bottom Right Corner: Nickel.
Let's recount carefully based on visual identification features:
1. Pennies (Lincoln facing right):
- Bottom-left corner shape.
- Shape just above the bottom-middle quarter.
- Shape on the right side, third row from bottom.
- Bottom-right corner shape.
-> Count: 4
2. Nickels (Jefferson facing left):
- Left edge, second shape down.
- Center-left cluster.
- Bottom-left cluster (above the penny).
- Bottom-right cluster (above the corner penny).
-> Count: 4
3. Dimes (Roosevelt facing left, small size):
- Top row, second from left.
- Top row, far right (actually, looking closely, the top right is a Quarter. The one below it is a Dime). Let's re-examine top right. The top right coin has Washington's profile. It is a Quarter. The coin below it on the far right edge is a Dime.
- Let's list Dimes again:
1. Top row, between the two quarters.
2. Right side, below the top-right quarter.
3. Center of the page.
4. Right side, middle edge.
5. Bottom right area, above the nickel.
6. Left side, above the middle quarter.
-> Count: 6
4. Quarters (Washington facing left, large size):
1. Top Left Corner.
2. Top Middle.
3. Top Right Corner.
4. Left Edge, middle.
5. Center Right.
6. Right Edge, lower middle.
7. Bottom Middle.
-> Count: 7
Final Tally:
* Pink (Pennies): 4
* Purple (Nickels): 4
* Blue (Dimes): 6
* Green (Quarters): 7
