Time and Money Revision
Time helps us understand when things happen, while money is used when we buy and sell things. Both are important parts of everyday life.
In this lesson, you will revise simple ideas about time and money that you learned earlier in Class 1 Mathematics.
Learning Objectives
- Recall the days of the week.
- Recall the months of the year.
- Understand simple everyday time ideas.
- Recognise common coins and notes.
- Solve simple money problems.
Days and Months
There are seven days in a week. The days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There are twelve months in a year. Knowing the order of days and months helps us understand when events happen.
Everyday Time
We use words such as morning, afternoon, evening and night to talk about different parts of the day.
We also use clocks to tell the time and organise our daily activities.
Coins and Notes
In India, we use rupees and paise as units of money. We can recognise different coins and notes and use them when buying things.
These are examples of common Indian coin values.
These are examples of common Indian note values.
Simple Money Problems
We can use addition and subtraction with money to solve simple buying and spending problems.
A pencil costs ₹5. You have ₹10.
₹10 − ₹5 = ₹5
Answer: ₹5 is left.
You have ₹5 and receive another ₹5.
₹5 + ₹5 = ₹10
Answer: You have ₹10.
Common Mistakes
- Keep the days and months in their correct order.
- Read the time information carefully.
- Check the value of a coin or note before calculating.
- Do not confuse adding money with subtracting money.
Practice
1. How many days are there in a week?
2. Which day comes after Monday?
3. Which part of the day comes after afternoon?
4. Which is more: ₹10 or ₹5?
5. You have ₹10 and spend ₹4. How much money is left?
Try It Yourself
Look at your daily routine and name one activity you do in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night. Then find three coins or notes and identify their values.
