Indian Money Worksheets

What children practise

The set introduces familiar Indian coins and notes through matching, tracing, colouring, counting and simple money sums. Younger children can identify the rupee symbol, sort coins by value and match a coin or note to its number. Older children can add small amounts, find a price, compare two totals and work out simple change. The activities use clear pictures and short instructions, so you can choose a suitable sheet for Nursery, LKG, UKG or Classes 1 and 2. Use the worksheets in order, or select one that matches your child's current maths practice.

Simple ways to use the worksheets

At home, place a few safe, clean coins beside the worksheet and let your child check each answer with real objects. You can play shop with household items, writing small prices such as ₹5, ₹10 or ₹20 on paper labels. In class, use one sheet for guided practice, then let pairs sort coin and note cards before completing their own work. Ask children to explain how they know an amount is greater or which coins could make a price. Keep a few sheets for revision after a market visit or a maths lesson.

Help with common money mistakes

Children often think a larger coin is worth more because it looks bigger, or they count the number of coins instead of their values. Put the coins in order from least to greatest and say each value aloud. When adding, ask your child to combine the rupees rather than count every picture as one. Notes can cause confusion too, so compare the printed numbers and colours without relying only on size. For change, start with a small example such as paying ₹10 for something costing ₹7, then count forward from ₹7 to ₹10.
