Take a pile of coins.

Start sorting them.

Realize you have State quarters.

Do lots of matching.

Heather, July 25, 2010 11:22 PM: I love your use of quarters and mixing it with geography! Definitely filing that one away for when we look at the states more in depth!
Montessori For Learning, July 25, 2010 11:42 PM: This is such a great idea!
Christy, July 26, 2010 6:03 AM: We use state quarters in our geography studies too!
Ticia, July 26, 2010 8:52 AM: I love the state quarters. I'm slowly becoming less enthralled as I'm trying to teach my kid about the different coins and having to explain the different backs. That's not so fun.
Phyllis, July 26, 2010 9:02 AM: I love your use of materials! When I saw this post, it just occurred to me that I should add state quarters to my geography-postcard album.
Joyful Learner, July 26, 2010 9:46 AM: We have the state quarters, Map pieces, and the map cards but it never ocurred to match them all until now! Thanks!

Deb Chitwood, June 30, 2011 6:37 AM: I love your activity for matching state quarters and states! State quarters are fascinating, and this is such a simple yet effective way to introduce state map shapes and the state quarters. I featured your photo and post at http://livingmontessorinow.com/2011/06/30/montessori-inspired-patriotic-unit/
Candace April, June 30, 2011 11:22 PM: Found you via Deb Chitwood! I am going to try this with my daughter next week. I love this idea of matching the quarters and the cards! I hope you will come share this awesome post at a link sharing party I have up right now (http://ow.ly/5utpd). We also have prizes but I know the main incentive for us bloggers is to share great ideas!
