Watch a seven-year-old pay at a counter and you will see the puzzled look when coins come back: why does the cashier give money too? This 2nd grade making change word problems worksheet answers that question nine times. Each story names what someone bought and what they handed over. Barbra spends $2.05 at the grocery store and pays with a five dollar bill. Lori buys a 45 cent pencil with 50 cents, and Sonia buys a teddy bear for 95 cents with one dollar. Your child finds the change each time. A second page gives the answer key, with every step written out.
