Answer key Paying a price
Circle the pieces of a purse that pay an exact price, or draw them. In Grades 3 and 4, with the fewest coins and notes, as a shopkeeper would.
Comparing purses
Who has more money? It has to be counted: sometimes the purse with more coins holds less.
Giving change
Buy from the shop, pay with a note and work out the change: €10 − €7.25 = €2.75. Then draw the change with the fewest pieces.
Shopping problems
With the price list of a bakery, a stationery shop or a toy shop: how much it all costs, how much is left, is it enough and how much several of one thing cost.
Euros and cents
€1 is 100 cents: €3 and 45 cents is 345 cents, and so is €3.45. A first step to the decimal point in prices.
Frequently asked questions about money worksheets
Which grades are these worksheets for?
Grades 1 to 4 (Years 2 to 5), one level per grade: €1 and €2 coins in Grade 1, cents in Grade 2, notes and euros up to €100 in Grade 3 and euros and cents in Grade 4.
Why euros?
LearnKits is made for schools in Spain and the euro area, so every worksheet uses euro coins and notes, also on the English pages. Prices are written in the English way, with the euro sign first and a decimal point: €3.50.
Are the coins and notes the real ones?
They are our own simplified drawings: circles with a large value and rectangles for the notes, in proportion to the real coins and notes. The €1 and €2 coins have their ring, like the real ones. They print well in black and white.
What does paying with the fewest pieces mean?
Using as few coins and notes as possible: €8 is a €5 note, a €2 coin and a €1 coin. With euros, always taking the largest piece that fits gives that way, and there is only one.
What is in the answer key?
The total of every purse, the pieces to circle, the coins and notes drawn, the sign of every comparison, the total and the change with the subtraction and the change drawn, and the working and answer of every problem.
What other worksheets go well with these?
The maths word problems for more adding and subtracting stories, the decimal operations to calculate with prices in Grades 5 and 6, and the financial literacy worksheets for budgets and discounts. Find every resource under maths worksheets.
