Counting Coins Coding Robot Activity 1st Grade Money

Counting coins coding robot practice gives first and second grade students a hands-on way to build money skills. Students read a task card, count a set of coins up to 40 cents, and then program their coding robot to travel to the picture card that matches the answer.

Made for use with a programmable coding robot you already have in your classroom, this activity turns coin counting into a movement and problem-solving challenge. Please note that the coding robot and the plastic mat are not included.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• Task cards for students to read and answer, with each answer matching a card on the mat
• Enough picture cards to build a 6x6 grid
• Answer document so students can check their work once the coding robot reaches its location
• Coding sheet for students to record each movement they program

HOW THIS WORKS:

• Lay out the picture cards in a 6x6 grid on your plastic mat
• Students choose a task card and count the coins up to 40 cents
• They find the answer on the grid and plan the path for their coding robot
• They record the steps on the coding sheet, then program and run the robot
• Students use the answer document to check whether the robot landed on the correct card

BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS:

• Builds confidence identifying and counting pennies, nickels, and dimes
• Introduces early coding through sequencing and direction
• Encourages planning, predicting, and checking work
• Supports independent practice at math centers or STEM centers
• Keeps students engaged with a hands-on, self-checking format

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT:

• Simple printable setup with no extra prep beyond cutting the cards
• Works with the coding robot you already own
• Easy way to add technology to your money unit
