Learning is an active process.

The beautiful quote above tells us the importance of experiential learning which the need of an hour is for our young learners. The activities related to the concept of "Money" was tailored for grade 2 students to introduce them to the world of local currency i.e “rupees” ( ) and basic mathematical operations related to money. Through interactive exercises and hands-on experiences, students were given the opportunity to develop foundational skills in coin and note recognition, counting, and basic addition. The main objective of these activities was to familiarize students with different coins and notes, their values, and to instil basic math skills necessary for handling money in everyday situations.

Students were presented with a variety of coins and notes for an activity. They learned to recognize and differentiate between these coins and notes by their appearance, size, and value. Students were provided with sets of coins and were asked to count the total value of each set and make money combinations of different values given by the teachers. This activity aimed to reinforce counting skills and improve their familiarity with the Indian currency, value for each coin and note. Students also did role play activity in pairs of a customer and a shopkeeper in a simulated store. They practiced making change, thereby strengthening their understanding of subtraction in a real-world context. These activities not only fostered mathematical growth but also instilled a sense of confidence and competence in handling money, preparing them for real world financial responsibilities.
