Help your child build real-world math skills while learning how Canadian money works.

The Counting Canadian Money Workbook provides clear, step-by-step practice that helps children recognize and use Canadian coins and bills. Through engaging activities, students learn to identify coins, count money, combine different coin values, and solve everyday money problems.

The workbook supports key expectations in the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum (Financial Literacy Strand) taught in Grades 1–4. As children progress through the activities, they practise identifying Canadian coins, counting and representing money amounts, adding and subtracting money, and calculating totals and change in real-life situations.

By working through these practical exercises, children strengthen their number sense while developing the financial literacy skills they use in everyday life.
