Introduction
Math Mammoth U. S. Money is a worktext that covers U.S. money-related topics usually encountered
during grades 1-3. The book contains both textbook explanations and exercises, and is designed to be easy
to teach from, requiring very little teacher preparation.
The book starts with first-grade topics such as counting pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. While the
lessons use pictures for the coins, practicing with real coins is even better, and you should have real
money on hand with which to practice.
From there, the lessons advance towards second-grade, and finally to third grade topics. You can let your
child work the pages of this book in different time periods, and not go through it all at once, depending on
your child's current level.
Making Change explains two basic ways of finding the change: counting up, and subtracting (finding the
difference). This is all done with mental math. The next lesson also practices money problems using
mental math.
In the last lesson we solve money problems by adding and subtracting money amounts in columns
(vertically).
On the next page you will find a list of money activities and games on the Internet.
I wish you success in teaching math!

Change
When you buy something in a store, you often do not have the exact amount of money
to pay for it. Instead, you give the clerk more money than what the item costs. The clerk
then gives you some money back. This is called your change.
A pen costs 40¢. You don't have the coins to make exactly 40¢, so you give the clerk
50¢. That is 10¢ too much! But then the clerk gives you back 10¢ — your change.
You give: Your change:
Price: 40¢ 50¢ 10¢
The clerk gives you back the difference between the price and what you paid.
In each problem below, find the change you get back. Think of the DIFFERENCE
between the price and what you pay. Or, think how many cents you paid “too much.” That
will be your change.
You can set up a “play store” to do these problems, using real money, one person as a
clerk, and one person as a customer.
1. Write how many cents you give, and how many cents is your change.
a. You give: Your change: b. You give: Your change:

Counting Change
When you buy an item, you might not have the exact coins and bills for the amount it
costs. You can then pay with a bigger bill, and get back some change.
To give change, or to check the change you are given, you can count up from the price
of the item until you reach the amount the customer gives.
Count up The change is

34¢ these coins.
from
Customer gives $1 the price → 35 ¢ 40 ¢ 50 ¢ 75 ¢ 100 ¢ The change is 66¢.
Notice: you first count up from 34¢ to 40¢ — to the next ten-cent amount.
Count up The change is

68¢ from s these coins.

Making Change
1. To give change, or to check the change you are given, you can count up from the price of the
item until you reach the amount the customer gives. First count up to the next whole dollar.
Then use 1-dollar or 5-dollar bills.
a.
The change is
Price: $0.76
Count
Customer gives $1 up → $0.80 $1.00 $_________
b.
Price: $8.90 The change is
Count
Customer gives $10 up → $9.00 $10.00 $_________
c.
Count
Customer gives $5 up → $_________
d.

Customer gives $10 up → $_________
e.
Price: $3.04
The change is

2. Figure out the change. You can draw coins or use real money to help.

Finding change is finding the difference.
Example:
You can also find the change by subtracting the item
A book costs $6. You give $10.
price from the money amount the customer gives.
Your change:
You are just finding the difference between the price and $10 − $6 = $4.
the money given.
You can add up to find the change. A toy costs $3.30. You give $10.
Another method is to first add up to the next whole dollar First find how many cents
to find the cents. Then find the dollar-amount by there are to the next
subtracting. whole dollar: $3.30 + $0.70 = $4.
Again, you are finding the difference between the price Then find the difference between
and the money given, but you are finding it in two parts. $4 and $10, which is $6.
The total change is $6.70.
3. Find the change.
a. A book costs $7. b. A basket costs $4. c. A train costs $5.50.

You give $10. You give $20. You give $10.
Change: $__________ Change: $__________ Change: $__________
d. A magazine costs $2.40. e. A meal costs $7.60. f. A drink costs $1.30.

g. Crayons cost $3.80. h. Staples cost $1.40. i. Paper costs $7.20.

4. Did these people receive the correct change? If not, correct it.
a. Margie bought a few items that cost $7.86. She paid with a $10-bill.
She got back two dollars, two dimes, and four pennies.
b. Fred bought a toy car for $2.76 and gave $5 for it. The clerk handed back
to him a quarter and two dollars.

Here's a little trick for finding two 2-digit numbers that add up to 100:
The ones add up to 10.

The tens add up to 9...
...plus there is one ten
that is “carried” from the ones —
total 10 tens or a hundred.
5. Try it yourself! Find the two-digit number so the sum is 100.

a. b. c. d. e.
5 6 1 9 7 2 4 4 3 4
+ + + + +
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0
6. Fill in the missing cent-amount. You can use the “trick” explained above.
a. 54¢ + ________¢ = 100¢ b. 38¢ + ________¢ = $1 c. 33¢ + ________¢ = $1
76¢ + ________¢ = 100¢ $1.13 + ________¢ = $2 $4.39 + ________¢ = $5
27¢ + ________¢ = 100¢ $3.86 + ________¢ = $4 $9.37 + ________¢ = $10
7. Find the change. Find also what coins and bills that could be used to make the change.
a. A book costs $3.55. You give $5. b. Pencils cost $2.88. You give $5.
Change: $1.45. Use a quarter,

two dimes, and a dollar bill.
c. A shirt costs $7.76. You give $10. d. Sunglasses cost $8.95. You give $10.
e. A sandwich costs $4.26. You give $5. f. Flowers cost $6.28. You give $10.

Mental Math and Money Problems
You can add money amounts
in your mind, as well. $1.20 + $1.50 $0.14 + $1.20
Add the dollars and = $2.70 = $1.34
the cents separately.
If you get more than 100 cents, $0.70 + $0.70 $0.99 + $0.06
then those make another dollar. = 140 cents = $1.40 = 105 cents = $1.05
1. Find the total cost of buying the things listed. Add mentally if you can.

2. Add up to the next whole dollar.
a. b. c.
30¢ + _______ = $1.00 $3.30 + ________ = $4.00 $1.15 + ________ = $2.00
50¢ + _______ = $1.00 $2.20 + ________ = $3.00 $1.56 + ________ = $2.00
72¢ + _______ = $1.00 $5.62 + ________ = $6.00 $1.84 + ________ = $2.00
Add up to find the change Price: $1.20. Customer gave $5.
To find the change, find the difference $1.20 $2.00 $5.00

between the price and the money given.
differences → 80 ¢ $3
Start from the price and add till you
reach the amount the customer gives. Change: $3.80
First add up to the next whole ten cents. Price: $3.37. Customer gave $5.
Then add up to the next whole dollar $3.37 $3.40 $4.00 $5.00
(if need be).
differences → 3¢ 60 ¢ $1
Lastly add all the differences
to find the total change. Change: $1.63
3. Find the total change.

To find the change, you find the difference between the price and the money given.
To find any difference, you can:
z Subtract the price from the money given, OR
z Add up from the price to the money given.
Example. A bag costs $11.28. Add up: OR subtract:

A customer pays with $20.

What is his change? + $0.72 + $8 1 10 10 10
We can add up or subtract. $2 0 . 0 0

Subtracting to find the change $11.28 $12.00 $20.00 −1 1 . 2 8
often involves regrouping
over many zeros. The change is $8.72. $ 8 . 7 2
3. Find the difference by counting up.

+ + + +
$2.65 $3.00 $10.00 $7.50 $8.00 $20.00

+ + + +
$________ $________ $________ $________ $________ $________
