In Class 1, children learn to recognise Indian coins and notes and add small amounts. A Class 2 worksheet on money asks for more: adding the prices of two or three things, working out change from ₹50 or ₹100, making the same amount in different ways and filling in a simple shopping bill. These are real-life skills, and children enjoy them because they feel grown up.

Rupees and paise for kids
Our money is the Indian rupee, written with the symbol ₹. One rupee is made of 100 paise. Older textbooks often include paise sums, but in everyday shopping today children mostly see whole rupee prices and rupee coins, so most Class 2 money practice uses whole rupees. If your child’s book does include paise, the key fact to remember is: 100 paise = ₹1, so 50 paise is half a rupee.
| Coins children often see | Notes children often see |
|---|---|
| ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10, ₹20 | ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, ₹500 |
Real coins and notes are the best teaching tool. Lay a few out on the table and let your child sort them by value before doing any written work.

Giving change worksheet tip: count up, don’t take away
Shopkeepers rarely subtract in their heads. They count up from the price to the money given. Children find this much easier than written subtraction.
Example: Soap costs ₹35. You pay ₹50.
- Start at 35. Add ₹5 to reach 40.
- Add ₹10 to reach 50.
- Change is ₹5 + ₹10 = ₹15.
Practise with real coins: put the soap price card down, then lay the coins one by one while counting up aloud. Once counting up is easy, show that 50 − 35 = 15 gives the same answer. For written subtraction with bigger amounts, our guide to addition with carrying for Class 2 and subtraction with borrowing for Class 2 will help.
