Math, Money & Time, Technology, Virtual Resources

Written by: Angie Olson

Teaching students about the concept of money can be overwhelming.  Coin identification, values, and sums can all be introduced through a variety of fun, appropriate, and informative math videos that teach money.  We have compiled a list of kid-friendly videos for you to use in your classroom. Pair these with Money Toothy or our Lucky to Learn Math Curriculum for some fun practice or review.

Numberock-“Coins” (3:34)

This fun and engaging music video covers the value of the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter with great graphics and a catchy tune. It even briefly teaches students the presidential faces and how to use these coins to purchase items. NUMBEROCK does a great job covering the basics while keeping it fun and easy to understand!

“Coins!” (3:05)

This is another instructional musical video that teaches the identification of the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. In this video, a very professional-sounding quartet sings about the four different coins and their names, value, and face. Very engaging and well done, this catchy song will teach as well as entertain!

This video seems a bit on the longer side, however, if you do have the time, this video is incredibly thorough and covers both the front and back of all U.S. coins (including old and new productions in circulation) and interesting facts about each one. Complete with upbeat background music and an engaging animated guide, this video covers everything you need to know about U.S. coins!

In this video Ralphie, Maxine, and their friend sing about the relationship of coins. Quick and redundant, this silly song slowly speeds up and is easy to remember and sing along with!

The Coin Song (3:06)

When I tell you this song will be in your head for YEARS to come, I mean it. My students absolutely loved this song every year and I find it helps those who struggle with coin ID and value.
