Money: Recognizing Indian currency coins and bank notes.
1. Common Coins and Notes
• Coins: ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10, ₹20 coins.
• Notes: ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100 notes.
Every note and coin has its value clearly written in numbers and features the Indian national emblem or Mahatma Gandhi.
Symbol: '₹' is the official Indian Rupee sign. 1 Rupee = 100 paise.
2. Equivalent Values (Making Amounts)
You can make ₹10 in different ways:
• One ₹10 coin
• Two ₹5 coins (5 + 5 = 10)
• Five ₹2 coins (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10)
• Ten ₹1 coins
Try It: How many ₹10 notes make ₹50? 5 notes of ₹10 make ₹50!
💡 Key Learning Takeaways
- The currency of India is the Rupee (symbol: ₹).
- Coins and notes have different denominations.
