Money in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics
Money helps children use numbers in real life. In the PYP Number strand, Grade 1 learners recognise rupee coins and notes, count how much money they have, compare amounts and solve simple buying and change problems.
PYP learning is inquiry-based, so every worksheet here is short, colourful and playful, with a friendly animal guide and a teacher answer key on page 2.
What learners practise
- Naming coins and notes and their values
- Counting a group of coins to find the total

For students
Read each instruction carefully, try every question and colour the animal when you finish.
For parents
Print on A4, read the instructions aloud together and let your child work alone before you check.
For teachers
Use a worksheet as a starter, homework or exit ticket. Each one has a name, class and date box and an answer key.
Set up a pretend shop with price tags and real or play coins. Children count, pay and give change, which makes money skills meaningful.
Quick answers
Who is the Money page for?
It is for IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics learners, typically aged 6–7, and for the parents and teachers who support them.
Which currency do the worksheets use?
The Indian rupee (₹). The coins and notes shown are ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 and the notes ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 and ₹100.
How big are the amounts?
Most amounts stay within ₹20, with a few notes for challenge, so Grade 1 learners can count them easily.
How should I use these worksheets?
Pick one worksheet, let your child try it without help first, then check together with the answer key on page 2. Short sessions of five to ten minutes, a few times a week, work best.
