Money: Identifying Coins, Currency Notes, and Market Shopping

We use money (currency) to buy toys, books, fruits, and food at the market. Every coin and paper note has a special printed value!

₹1 ₹2 ₹5 ₹10 Note Coins and Notes used in market transactions

Money: ₹1, ₹2, ₹5 coins and ₹10 note

1. Identifying Indian Coins and Currency Notes

• Coins: We commonly use 1 Rupee (₹1), 2 Rupees (₹2), 5 Rupees (₹5), and 10 Rupees (₹10) round metal coins.
• Notes: Paper currency notes include ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, and ₹100 notes.

Symbol: The symbol ₹ stands for Indian Rupees!

2. Fun Market Shopping Calculations

If a red pencil costs ₹5 and a small sharpener costs ₹3, how much money do you need to buy both? ₹5 + ₹3 = ₹8! You can pay with one ₹5 coin, one ₹2 coin, and one ₹1 coin.

Making Amounts: Two ₹5 coins make ₹10 (5 + 5 = 10). Five ₹2 coins also make ₹10!

💡 Key Learning Takeaways

  • Recognise common coins (₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10) and notes.
  • Combine coins to make given price amounts.
  • Add prices together when buying multiple items.

🎯 Key Learning Takeaways

Master coins, notes, and practical everyday money exchange.
