Money and Time
Practical number skills for coins, clocks, elapsed time, and everyday problem solving.

This skill builds directly on:
- Numbers and Counting — master this first.
- Addition — master this first.
What your child is learning
Money and time use number sense in familiar contexts. Children need coin values, clock structure, skip-counting, and careful reading of the question.
Signs your child is ready
- Skip-counts by 5s and 10s
- Recognizes coin names

The common stumbling point
Counting coins by number of coins instead of value, or reading the minute hand as the hour.
