Indian Coins and Notes Worksheets

What children practise

This set introduces Indian coins and notes through clear pictures, matching tasks, sorting activities, counting exercises and simple money sums. Younger children can name coins, trace the ₹ symbol and match a coin or note to its value. Children who are ready for more can count groups of coins, compare amounts and choose the money needed for a small purchase. The worksheets use familiar rupee amounts and simple instructions, so you can select a suitable starting point. For extra practice after this set, try the Indian Money Worksheets page.

Simple ways to use the worksheets

At home, place a few real coins beside the worksheet and ask your child to find the matching pictures. Set up a pretend fruit stall with price tags such as ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20, then let your child choose which coin or note to pay with. In class, give pairs a mixed group of paper money and ask them to sort it by type, value or colour before completing a worksheet. Use the activity as a short maths centre, a morning task or revision after a lesson. Let children explain how they found an answer rather than rushing to correct every mistake.

Helping with common money mistakes

Children often choose a coin because it looks bigger, or think a longer note has a higher value. Ask them to read the number printed on the coin or note and say the amount aloud. They may also count the number of objects instead of adding their values, so guide them to label each coin before finding the total. When making change, keep the amounts small and use real or paper money on a table. If your child is unsure of the ₹ symbol, practise writing it beside a few amounts and read each one as rupees.
