Questions & Answers
Coins and notes
Why do coins have different values?
So we can make any amount without carrying a huge pile. A few coins of different values can build many totals.
Is a bigger coin always worth more?
No. Size does not decide value. You must read the number printed on the coin.
How do I make an amount in different ways?
Swap equal values. Ten rupees can be one ten rupee coin, or two fives, or five twos. Same value, different coins.
What is change?
Change is the money returned when you pay more than the price. Pay 20 for something costing 15 and you get 5 back.
How do I work out change?
Count up from the price to the amount you gave. From 15 to 20 is 5. That counting up is subtraction.
How do rupees and paise work?
One rupee is a hundred paise. Prices are usually written in rupees, sometimes with paise after a dot.
Why is money good maths practice?
Because it is real. A mistake shows up straight away at the shop. That makes the maths matter.
How can I practise at home?
Play shop. Put price labels on toys, pay with real coins and give change. Say every total out loud.
