Year 3 Money Learning

Knowing how to handle and calculate with money is a very important life-skill.

During Year 3, children build on their knowledge and skills they have achieved during Year 2.

By the time children reach the end of Year 3, they should be able to:-

• use decimal notation for amounts of money, e.g. £3.27
• change amounts in £ to amounts in pence and back;
• count money up to £10;
• calculate change for amounts of money up to £1 mentally;
• solve simple problems involving money;
• use informal methods to add and subtract money amounts in £ and pence.

Our worksheets will support your child with these objectives.

Year 3 Money Challenges Information

The following worksheets involve solving challenges involving money amounts. They are a great way to consolidate and extend money learning once children are confident with counting money amounts.

The challenges start off at a fairly easy level with problems that involve lower value coins and smaller money amounts. The challenges later on involve more complex problems with larger values to calculate.

If you are teaching a class or group of children, then these sheets should give you some great differentiated learning activities with a money theme.

An answer sheet is available for each challenge provided.

The money challenges in each section are carefully graded, allowing you to introduce concepts at an easier level before introducing harder work, or differentiate within your class.

Using the sheets in this section will help your child to:
