Chhutta turns rupee maths into a shop game. Children see real note colours, real prices and real customers, and learn to make change the way they'll need to in a shop.
Activities by class
Class 1 and 2: know the notes
Name each note by its colour. The drawer uses the real colours: ₹10 chocolate brown, ₹20 greenish yellow, ₹50 fluorescent blue, ₹100 lavender, ₹200 bright yellow, ₹500 stone grey.
Make small amounts with coins: ₹3, ₹4, ₹7. There's often more than one way.
Class 3: make an amount
In practice mode the change due is shown. The child's job is just to build it from the drawer.
Talk about the fewest pieces: is ₹20 + ₹20 + ₹20 the best way to make ₹60?
Class 4 and 5: work out change
Cover the "change due" line and have them work it out first. Teach the counting up method.
Race the daily shift. The score is time, so it rewards both speed and the fewest notes.
