What You'll Learn
Money maths is arithmetic with a context children already care about: recognising coins and notes, totalling a purchase, working out change, and later handling budgets and percentages of a price.
It is also where decimals stop being abstract. £4.75 and $4.75 are two-place decimals that a child can hold in their hand, and the connection between "four pounds seventy-five" and 4.75 is often the moment decimal place value clicks. That makes money useful for far more than shopping practice.

Money by Grade
Money appears across several grades on this site, with the skills becoming more advanced over time. Jump to a grade page for a broader set of activities at that level.
How to Use Money Practice
Real coins beat pictures of coins, and a real shop beats both. Handing over money and counting the change gives immediate, meaningful feedback in a way a worksheet cannot.
Be aware this topic is currency-specific in a way most maths is not. If the activities use a different currency from the one your child handles, the arithmetic still transfers, but it is worth doing some practice with the coins in your own pocket alongside it.

View Parent DashboardFrequently Asked Questions
- Recognising coins and notes, totalling amounts, calculating change, writing amounts with a decimal point, comparing value, and later working with discounts and percentages.
- Amounts like 4.75 are two-place decimals a child can physically handle. The link between "four seventy-five" and the written number often makes decimal place value concrete in a way abstract examples do not.
- The arithmetic transfers between currencies, but coin recognition does not. It is worth practising with the actual coins your child sees alongside anything on screen.
- Counting up from the price to the amount paid is usually easier and less error-prone than subtracting, and it is what shopkeepers have always done.
- Coin recognition often starts early, alongside counting, with change and written amounts following once addition and subtraction are reasonably secure. Placement varies by school system.
- The counts shown at the top of this page are generated from the live catalogue, so they always reflect exactly what is available right now. Money is currently one of our smaller collections and we are adding to it.
