The Penny Pot: An Educational Math Story About Face Painting, Friends, and Counting Coins for Kids (Ages 6-10) (MathStart 3, 2)

This book is a great way to introduce counting money with children, especially if you take the time to pause your reading to count if the children in the story have the right amount with coins. It’s also a really cute story about kids getting their face painted.

I ordered this to go along with my first graders math lessons on counting coins. It’s a cute little book with a fun story line, that ties in learning along the way!

The book was great a read. I love the concept of teaching kids how to identify coins and count. I love the colors that was used to illustrate the pictures. I also like that the author referenced additional books with similar concepts to read and the glossary at the end.

My kindergarten students love this book. It shows them how to count money and how money is used. Also, saving to get what you want. This boom might be set for another level but kindergarten students understand it fine. I had a money counting activity that followed the reading

Probably best for pre-school children

Paired with face painting set and coins for six year old b'day girl. Great introduction to adding and subtracting change, charming illustrations.

This book was used for my math classes, it was especially helpful to both my first-grade and second-grade students. Thank you for making education fun!

This book went perfect with my 2nd grade level counting money lesson during my student teaching. I was evaluated very high for incorporating literature in my math lesson. I couldn't be happier with my decision to purchase this book.
