Coins and Notes

Coins and Notes in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics

Coins and notes are the money we use every day. Grade 1 learners recognise rupee coins (₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10) and notes (₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100), name their values and compare which is worth more.

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.

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.

Teaching tip

Let children handle real coins and notes. Sort them by size, colour and value to spot differences.

Quick answers

Who is the Coins and Notes page for?

It is for IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics learners, typically aged 6–7, and for the parents and teachers who support them.

Why start with recognising coins?

Children must know what each coin is worth before they can count or add money.

Are real coins needed?

They help, but the worksheets show clear pictures of each coin and note.

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.
