The three big ideas

  • We use coins like ₹1, ₹2, ₹5 and ₹10, and notes like ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 and ₹100.
  • Money is counted in rupees, written with the sign ₹.
  • A note can be worth more than a coin — a ₹100 note is much more than a ₹1 coin.

Let's try. How many ₹2 coins make ₹10?

₹2 + ₹2 + ₹2 + ₹2 + ₹2 = ₹10, so we need 5 coins of ₹2.

  • To make a price, add up coins and notes until you reach the amount.
  • There can be more than one way to make the same amount.
  • Adding the prices of two things gives the total to pay.

Let's try. Make ₹8 with coins.

One ₹5 and one ₹2 and one ₹1 make ₹8. (Or eight ₹1 coins!)

  • If you give more money than the price, the shopkeeper gives back change.
  • Change is found by subtracting the price from what you paid.
  • If you give exactly the price, there is no change.

Let's try. A toy costs ₹14. You give ₹20. What change?

₹20 − ₹14 = ₹6 change back.

Watch out: always check that the coins and notes really add up to the price before you pay.
