In Primary 5/6 we have been focusing on money in Maths and on Tuesday we took part in a problem solving challenge. We had to work in pairs to help Lucille who was organising a party. She had a £10 budget and could choose between 3 flavours of drinks for the party.

Spritzer 24p each

Angel Brew 27p each

Merry Fizz 29p each

We had to spend as much of her £10 budget as we could.

We used the strategy ‘guess, check and improve’ to find different combinations.
