Money Lessons and Worksheets for 3rd Grade Math

In this activity we will discuss coins and bills for many countries. In third grade, kids should be able to recognize their country's coins and bills. 

For example; in Canada the coins are penny (1 cent coins now out of circulation), nickel (5 cent coin), dime (10 cent coin), quarter (25 cent coin), loonie (1 dollar coin) and a  townie (2 dollar coin). Then there are bills such as $5 (5 dollar bill), $10 (10 dollar bill), $20 (20 dollar bill), $50 (50 dollar bill) and $100 (100 dollar bill). 

Once kids know the change (coins) and basic bills better then they should be able to add or subtract the change and bills. In other words kids should be able to do money transactions. 

For example; while going for groceries parents can ask the kids to guess the total price of two or three items such as a chocolate bar, a toothpaste and a cereal box. Price tags are on the items and kids should be able to add these prices.
