How to use this with your childA few honest minutes beat an hour of busywork.

Money is where number sense meets real life. Counting coins, adding amounts and working out change all rehearse place value and mental addition in a context children care about. Using real New Zealand coins and notes means the practice matches the shops.

  1. Start with Counting to build confidence reading coins and notes, then move to Making change.
  2. Have real coins on the table if you can — matching the worksheet to actual money makes it click.
  3. Mark together with Show answers, talk through the tricky ones, then generate a fresh set.

Questions parents ask

Is this free?

Yes — no login, no limit. Print as many fresh sheets as you like.

Why are all the amounts in 10-cent steps?

New Zealand no longer uses 1, 2 or 5 cent coins, so cash totals round to the nearest 10 cents. The worksheets use real NZ coins and notes so the practice matches everyday shopping.

Which coins and notes are included?

Coins are 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2; notes are $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 — the current New Zealand set.
