Race to a Dollar Coin Trading Games | 1st & 2nd Grade

⭐ Race to a Dollar Coin Trading Games give first and second grade students hands-on practice identifying, counting, and trading coins as they race to collect one dollar! With printable trading mats and interactive digital versions, this engaging game is perfect for small-group instruction, partner games, math workstations, and whole-class modeling.

✨ MAKE SENSE OF COIN VALUES THROUGH TRADING

Why are five pennies worth the same as a nickel? Trading coins helps students discover relationships between coin values rather than simply memorizing them. As students exchange coins for equivalent amounts, they strengthen number sense and develop more efficient strategies for counting money.

📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Color and black-and-white trading mats with coin values and ten-frame representations
• Student instruction card
• Digital Coin Trading Mat with movable coins for modeling
• Digital Race to a Dollar game with movable coins

You'll need a standard or ten-sided die to play, plus real or manipulative coins when using the printable mats.

Race to a Dollar turns counting money into a game of thinking, trading, and making connections. Students aren't just collecting coins—they're discovering how different combinations can have the same value!
