Understanding Rupees and Paisa
Indian currency uses rupees (₹) as the main unit and paisa as the subdivision. 100 paisa = 1 rupee. While paisa coins are less common now, understanding the decimal system (₹45.50 = 45 rupees and 50 paisa) is essential for mathematical literacy.
Example: Purchase ₹237.50, Customer pays ₹500
Calculate change:
Amount paid: ₹500.00
Item cost: ₹237.50
Change: ₹262.50
This could be given as: Two ₹100 notes + One ₹50 note + One ₹10 note + One ₹2 coin + One 50 paisa coin

Let children handle actual rupee coins and notes. Visit a local kirana store and let them make small purchases to practice real-world money skills.
🏪 Practice at Local Markets
At the sabzi mandi or local shop, involve your child in counting money, calculating total cost, and verifying change received.
🎯 Master Common Prices
Help children learn typical prices: ₹10 for a samosa, ₹20 for tea, ₹50 for an auto ride, ₹100 for lunch. This builds real-world number sense.
💵 Connect to Pocket Money
Use pocket money as a teaching tool. Help children save for Diwali shopping, budget for birthday gifts, and track their savings in a piggy bank.

While teaching physical money, also discuss digital payments (Paytm, PhonePe, GPay) to show how math applies to modern transactions.
