Making change worksheets for 2nd and 3rd grade

Making change means working out how much money comes back after paying. It uses subtraction and counting up, and it is a skill children use in real life right away.

This 20-page pack starts with paying with a dollar, then counting up with coins, then $5 and bigger bills, buying two items, story problems and a mixed review. The answer key shows the change for every problem.

Children who are not yet confident counting coins can start with our Counting Coins pack.

What you get

The pack is a US Letter PDF (A4 works with fit to page): 20 practice pages, a 20-page answer key, a how-to page with tips for parents and teachers, a color-in progress tracker and a cover page. Download it right after checkout and print as many copies as you need for your family or one classroom.

Tips

• Count up from the price to the amount paid.
• Use play money or real coins.
