These activity sheets will give your beginning students practice in comparing the values of money.

Determining the value/amount of money is gaining recognition around the world. This is due to the fact that the time value of money is becoming a real thing to measure. Comparison is a common concept in mathematics. It calls for analyzing two different or varying concepts, variables, relationships as well as values to find out which one stands out or hold more weightage. But in mathematics, it is not about figuring out which one holds importance; it is more about finding out the right answer to particular question. The concept of money in mathematics calls for comparing the value/ amount of money. Let's learn how we can do compare the value of money quickly. 1. The first rule is to clearly understand that the greater and lesser amount. One should have clear concepts about the number place system. 2. Use greater than or less than signs between two values of money. 3. Compare the value of money you have with the amount of money your friend has. 4. Count carefully and then determine which set has a greater or lesser amount of money.

Things are always becoming more expensive. We call this affect inflation which results in a general increase in prices and less buying power for your money. Inflation is caused due to a variety of factors including consumer confidence, decreases in supply, and corporate decisions. Consumer confidence is a general measure of how willing people are to spend money. When the supply of anything depletes it holds more value. I learned this when I paid fifteen dollars for a bottle of water at a sporting event in the desert. These worksheets provide an opportunity to practice adding the sums of different denominations, and comparing given values (less than, greater than, or equal). Cash values include both bills and coins. Some questions are in word format.
