Grade 3 money in Ontario is about a real transaction, not only naming a coin. Financial Literacy expectation F1.2 asks students to estimate and calculate the change for simple purchases paid with whole-dollar amounts. This printable preview still starts with the coins: a quarter in cents, then a count of 2 toonies, 4 loonies, and 3 nickels. Students compare a book and a puzzle and choose the cheaper price. The change question is the expectation itself: a pencil paid for with a 5 dollar bill, and the change due. Two more items add a muffin and a book, then find the cost of one muffin from a pack of 2. Prices use dollars and cents. Nothing on the page asks for a credit card or for interest; that language starts in Grade 6 financial literacy.
