What is this chapter about?
In The Cleanest Village, everyone helps keep the village neat. They plant saplings, put up bins and buy things at the market. To plan all this, we add and subtract 3-digit numbers and work with money.
Even a train 🚂 ticket seller adds the fares and gives back the right change!

| Word | Meaning | Example |

| 🪙 change | money paid - cost | 200 - 125 = 75 |

- Play shop at home with toy notes and coins.
- Ask the child to check the change after real shopping.
- Estimate a bill first, then work out the exact answer.
- Talk about how your street or school can be kept clean and count the bins.
