⚠️ Language Guidance

✅ SAY:

"This coin is worth ₹5"

"How much money is this?"

"Pay exactly ₹7"

"Count the coins"

❌ AVOID (for now):

"Add the coins" (use "count" instead)

Decimals or paise

Making change

Written ₹ symbol (use spoken "rupees")

🏠 Home Activity

Set up a "home shop" with toys and snacks! Put price tags on items (₹2-₹10). Give your child real coins to practice paying. This builds confidence with real money before actual transactions.

💡 Key Insight

Children often think bigger coins = more money. Show them that a small ₹10 coin buys MORE than a big ₹5 coin. Size and value are different!

Design Note: This chapter teaches recognition and counting only. No change-making, no decimals, no notes above ₹10. The goal is comfort with coins before calculations.
