Grade 2 is where money starts to look like real life. Kids count mixed groups of coins and begin to add two prices together, the way they would at a shop. Both skills lean on adding within 100.
The trouble spot is mixing coin values. Adding 25, 10, 5 and 1 in your head takes practice. Counting from the largest coin down works best. Say the running total out loud as you go, and slow down when the numbers get bigger.
Start with Counting coins at a medium level. When your kid gets most of them right, try Adding prices. Each sheet has two or three price tags to add, and the child writes the total. This is a good bridge to two-digit addition, so it may expose gaps there as well.
If prices feel hard, go back to coins for a day or two. If coins feel easy, add real shopping into the mix. Ask your kid to add two things at the store before you reach the till.
