Math Mammoth South African Money is a worktext that covers counting South African coins and rand and other money-related topics usually encountered during grades 1-4. The book contains both textbook explanations and exercises, and is designed to be easy to teach from, requiring very little teacher preparation (you do need to find some practice coins before the lessons).
The book starts with first-grade topics such as counting five-cent, ten-cent, twenty-cent, and fifty-cent coins. While the lessons use pictures for the coins, practicing with real coins is even better, and you should have real money on hand to practice with.
From there, the lessons advance towards second, third, and fourth grade topics. Therefore, you can let your child work the pages of this book in different time periods, and not go through it all at once, depending on your child's current level.
Finding the Change explains two basic ways of finding the change: counting up, and subtracting (finding the difference). This is all done with mental math. The next lesson also practices money problems using mental math.
In the last lesson we solve money problems by adding and subtracting rand amounts vertically (in columns).
The PDF version of this book can be filled in on a computer, phone, or tablet, using the annotation tools found in many PDF apps. See more.
