    • Practice adding coins and notes together in simple sums, like 1-rupee coins plus a 10-rupee note.
    • Engage the students in hands-on activities where they physically count different denominations to understand their total value.
  4. Practical Exercises:

    • Create simple problems or games to make learning fun and engaging.
