JC: We have most of the Kumon books and they are usually fab. But this book is all in US money - cents, nickels etc.
No good for a child in the UK.

Amazon Customer for a really long time: It is a good book and the kid did learn his coins, however, there are a few issues;

The book doesn't cover silver dollars, but I guess these are rare nowadays unless you live in a casino town.

There are so many different types of quarters (state quarters, bicentennial, etc) that it is confusing to kids. The book uses the old style nickles (proper one in my opinion). The new nickles will cause confusion with kids.

The book could have done with more 'mixed' coin problems. I had to get real coins and have the kid add up the value. The book does not teach the difference between number of coins and 'value' of coins. I had to do that myself as the kid was getting confused. For example, 7 pennies and 2 dimes is 27 cents (value) but only 9 coins (number of coins).

The book does not have any complex problems such as how can you make 17 cents using exactly 4 coins or how can you make 17 cents using exactly 5 coins, etc. So, I had to sit down and do that with the kid myself.

The book only teaches 'CENTS' and does not teach that 100 cents equals one dollar. The book does not teach paper money or dollars at all. This is purely a 'cents' book and does not...

Wanderlust07: The media could not be loaded.  We travel a lot and my daughter five is very curious about currency and money. I picked up this book for a recent vacation.

I have used other books from the Kumon series and this is what I like about this particular book:

1. Thick pages: allows you to erase and have your child repeat a page.
2. Starts with basics: has your start with writing numbers up to 100 and then introduces the ‘penny’ concept
3. Slow progression: it moves along at a nice pace so your child confidently learns and doesn’t feel frustrated.
4. You get your money’s worth: the book has 88 pages and it’s a good amount of practice.
5. Good for different types of learners: the coins concept is introduced in writing as well as pictures of the coins. I give my daughter some change to practice with. I believe touch is an important learning pathway and helps reinforce memory.

william e young: I do not like the pages that have the answers written on them, but the activities on the pages are good.

homeschool_mama: The Kumon series of books works by empowering children to succeed on their own. The books get successively more difficult as they build upon skills learned from the previous pages, so that by the end of the book the child has a sense of accomplishment and be ready to move on to the next level. The instructor is more of a mentor or coach than a teacher in a classroom.

The Counting Coins book is designed to help teach about counting and adding using money. It starts off with a review of numbers 1-100. Then goes into simple 1+1 addition using pennies all the way up to 20. It asks the child to write in the number in a box. It shows both front and back of the penny and introduces the cent symbol so your child can become familiar with what it looks like. From there, it gets progressively more difficult. It then goes on to the nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar. This is where it's good to become familiar with skip counting: counting by 5's, counting by 10's, etc. By about the middle of the book, it then mixes the denominations of the coins so that you're adding nickels with pennies and dimes with nickels. By the end of the book, all the denominations are mixed and you're asked...
