Identifying US Money for 1st Grade
A slide-based presentation that introduces US coins and bills to 1st graders, covering the dollar and cent signs, the 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, and 25¢ coins, and the $1, $5, $10, $50, and $100 bills along with their values. It moves from a real-life launch about buying snacks, through guided exploration, to a consolidating wrap-up, and its speaker notes make it easy to deliver in a special education setting.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a whole-group or small-group lesson of roughly 20 to 30 minutes, pausing at the notice-and-wonder slides so students can share what they see before you name each coin or bill.
- Discussion question: "What coins or bills do you already recognize, and how do you know what they are worth?"
- Scaffold for students who are struggling: provide physical coin and bill manipulatives that match the slides, and have students match each real piece to its picture before naming the value.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to build a given amount, such as 30 cents or $6, using the fewest coins or bills possible.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for the full presentation, plus extra time for hands-on practice if your students need it.
