Money Riddles

Welcome to the 2nd Grade Math Salamanders Money Math Worksheets.

Children love solving puzzles and quizzes. These money quizzes are a great resource to get your child to learn about money in a fun and accessible way.

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

During 2nd grade, children build on their knowledge and skills they have achieved at first grade.

By the time children reach the end of 2nd grade, they should be able to:-

  • use decimal notation for amounts of money, e.g. $3.27
  • change amounts in $ to amounts in ¢ and back;
  • count money up to $10;
  • calculate change for amounts of money up to $10;
  • add and subtract money amounts in $ and ¢

Our worksheets will support your child with these objectives.
