What is it?
Learn Coins and Notes teaches children what money is worth. It shows simple drawings of the coins and notes of 14 currencies (rupees, dollars, euros, pounds, dirhams, riyals and more; your own currency is picked for you) and reads each value aloud. Two games follow: Make it, where your child taps coins and notes to reach an amount, and Count it, where they add up a small pile and choose the total.
Who is it for?
Children of about 5 to 9 learning money at school, parents playing “shop” at home, and teachers of early maths who want a quick on-screen activity for the class board.
How to use it
- Choose your currency at the top.
- In Coins and notes, tap any piece to hear its value. The drawings are simple pictures to learn the values, not copies of real money.
- Open Make it. The amount to make is shown; tap coins and notes and they go into the tray. You have shows the running total. Tap a piece in the tray to take it back.
- When the total matches, the tool praises your child and shows the Fewest pieces that would make the same amount.
- Open Count it: “How much money is this?” Add up the coins and notes and tap the right total.
Worked example
To make ₹37 with rupees: tap ₹20, ₹10, ₹5 and ₹2. You have ₹37, and the fewest-pieces hint confirms 4 pieces. A child who tapped ₹10 three times plus seven ₹1 coins is also right, but the hint shows a quicker way, which is how shopkeepers give change.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Start with whole amounts (no paise or cents) for younger children.
- After a round on screen, play shop with real coins and a few toys with price tags.
- Ask “which one coin could replace these two?” to build exchange skills.
There are no ads inside the game area, no chat, no sign-up and nothing is uploaded: everything runs on your phone or computer.
Errors and how to fix them
- Too much!: the tray holds more than the amount. Tap a piece in the tray to take it back, then try a smaller coin.
- No sound when I tap: the words are read by your device’s own voice. Turn the volume up and silent mode off, and check that a text-to-speech voice is installed (Android: Settings › Accessibility › Text-to-speech; iPhone: Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content; Windows: Settings › Time & language › Speech). Hindi words need a Hindi voice; without one the tool says them in English or stays quiet.
- “Not quite: the answer is shown in green”: only the first tap counts. Look at the green answer, say it aloud together, and the next question comes on its own. At the end the tool shows the score with stars (🌱 to ⭐⭐⭐).
