As teachers, we know how important teaching the skill of problem solving is. It is just as difficult to find a collection of story problems that will help you practice the skill. We have created this collection of problems to give students practice in making change. We have created different scenarios that ask students to find totals, make change and even apply coupons to amounts. There are two similar problems for each type of practice.
Making Change 1 Making Change 2 Purchasing 1 item, finding change given
Making Change, Adding 2 Amounts Making Change, Adding 2 Amounts
Making Change, Adding 3 Amounts Making Change, Adding 3 Amounts
Making Change, Using a Coupon 1 Making Change, Using a Coupon 2

These are terrific! Thanks so much for sharing these resources. I’ll be sharing with my students (preservice teachers) as we look at problem solving.
Best,
