By Grade 3, money is mostly an adding skill. Kids total up to eight coins at the hard level and add two or three prices. The coins are no longer the difficulty. Careful addition is.
Watch for small slips. A missed carry, a coin counted twice or a decimal point in the wrong place can all change the total. If your kid gets a wrong answer, have them redo it slowly and write each running total beside the coins.
Counting coins at the hard level is a good place to start, since it tests mixed values. Then try Adding prices, where the sums often pass a whole dollar, euro, rupee hundred or pound. This is the first time many kids have to think about writing totals in the main unit and the small unit.
When both sheets go smoothly, your kid is ready for real tasks. Ask them to work out the total of a shopping list, or whether a set of coins is enough to buy something. That is the money question school will ask next.
