The most important points

Euro and cent

Money is written with a comma: euros before the comma, then two places for the cents. \(3{,}40\text{ €} = 340\text{ ct}\). Euro to cent: \(\cdot\,100\).

Three euros forty: 3{,}40\text{ €}.
Three euros forty: \(3{,}40\text{ €}\).

Bread \(2{,}80\text{ €}\) and apple \(0{,}95\text{ €}\): comma under comma, \(2{,}80 + 0{,}95 = 3{,}75\text{ €}\).

Add the numbers with the commas underneath each other.
Add the numbers with the commas underneath each other.

Rounding

When paying there are only two places after the comma: \(2{,}19 : 2 = 1{,}095 \approx 1{,}10\text{ €}\) (the third place is 5: round up).

1{,}095\text{ €} is rounded to 1{,}10\text{ €}.
\(1{,}095\text{ €}\) is rounded to \(1{,}10\text{ €}\).

Du bist meine Mathe-Lehrkraft. Ich lerne Deutsch als Zweitsprache. Unser Thema: Geld (Euro und Cent, mit Komma schreiben, rechnen, runden). Stelle mir nacheinander fünf kurze Aufgaben. Warte immer auf meine Antwort. Sag mir dann, ob sie richtig ist, und erkläre kurz, warum. Benutze einfache deutsche Sätze.

How this was made: The idea, structure and examples of the series are mine. I made them with the help of AI: a language model (LLM) built the slides of the video following my instructions. The voice was generated with Qwen3-TTS, modelled on my own voice.

The subtitles, the translations, the worksheet and this page were also made with the help of AI. The translations have not been checked by native speakers.
