Adding money — Money maths for kids

The method

Column adding — “add the ones, carry a ten if needed, then add the tens”

1. Write the amounts one under the other, ones under ones.
2. Add the ones. If they make 10 or more, write the ones and carry 1 ten.
3. Add the tens (and the carried ten). Keep the ₹ sign in the question.

Use it for: Finding the total cost of things you buy, adding gift money, and Class 2 money worksheets.

Worked example: ₹38 + ₹47 = 85
