About Writing Money Amounts
What this skill is
Writing money amounts teaches correct currency symbol notation, using the cent sign (75c) or dollar sign with decimal point ($0.75 or $12.50).
When children learn it
Money symbol notation is taught in 1st through 3rd grade, aligned to 2.MD.C.8.
Teaching Tips
- Use either the dollar sign ($1.25) or cent sign (85c), but never both at once.
- Include two decimal places after the dollar point.
Common Mistakes
- Using both dollar ($) and cent (c) symbols together (writing $0.75c).
- Omitting leading zero before decimal points for amounts under a dollar (writing $.75).
