What this worksheet covers
There are 24 time and money problems here — one page to work, one page of answers to check against — and Sets B and C repeat the layout with different numbers. Twelve of the problems are drawn clock faces to read and the quantities are amounts of money, so answers need a dollar or cent sign to be complete. Problems 10 and 18, for instance, are "10 dimes" and "6 dimes". It is written against Common Core 1.MD.3 — Measurement & Data, grade 1.
Skills practised
At grade 1, time and money is about reading a clock to the half hour, counting like coins, and two kinds of coins together, and this sheet takes one slice of that. The skills on the page: reading a clock to the half hour and counting like coins. To finish it, a student has to carry money notation through to the answer and read both hands of an analog clock. 23 different answers appear across the 24 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.
About the drill format
A drill is straight practice: 24 problems of the same kind, laid out across the page with working space under each — problem 10, "10 dimes" is typical of the whole page. Clock faces and coin sets in a steady run are how the two readings — hands and values — become automatic.
Set A, Set B and Set C
All three sets are produced by the site's deterministic generator from a fixed seed, so they are the same every time the site is built and the answer keys are exact. Where Set A's problem 13 is "What time does the clock show?", Set B's is "What time does the clock show?".
How to use this worksheet
Five focused minutes beats twenty distracted ones at grade 1. Fold this drill in half, do one part of the 24 problems today and the rest tomorrow, and let the student use fingers or counters if they want them. Keep the key face down until all 24 problems are finished, then go through the misses together rather than only totalling the score.
One mistake to watch for
Coins are counted by number rather than by value: three dimes and two quarters is "5 cents". On this grade 1 drill, problem 18 ("6 dimes") is the kind of item where it shows.
A coin is being treated as a unit of one.
Sort coins by type, count each type by its value, and write the running total.
