How many different types of coins, denominations, do we have in the United Kingdom?

Mild Numeracy – Giving Change

Mental Maths warm up!

Keep practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to help you count amounts of money quickly.

Many of you have set up your own shops at home.

Your customers might not bring the exact amount of money so you need to learn to give them change.

Warm up – Take away facts!

You might like to try some of the questions on these sheets

Making coins

Watch this film to learn about how the Royal Mint make coins.

This film was made before the new £1 coin was introduced.

The new £1 coin

Can you count how many sides the £1 coin has?

What do the pictures on the back of the coin represent?

Why did the £1 coin have to be redesigned?

Time for a story.

‘It’s a No-Money Day’ by Kate Milner

In the second film the author of ‘It’s a No Money Day’, Kate Milner, reads her book and spends time discussing her choice and style of illustrations. She makes some very interesting points about the illustrations to help the reader empathise with the main characters.

If you would like your child to practise reading aloud I think it might be helpful to turn down the volume and scroll through the video from page to page.

Mild – Reading – DCA Shorts ‘Tiger’

June 11, 2020 A. Rossvoll 2 Comments

Every week, since schools have closed, Dundee Contemporary Arts, DCA have been sharing short films from the children’s collection for their annual Film Festivals.

I was delighted when the DCA team shared the film ‘Tiger’ last week. Perfect timing!

(Short films and animations are a type of text that we share and talk about with your children, in a similar way to picture books.)

After watching ‘Tiger’ talk about the questions below.

There are many surprises and problems; funny sound effects and a great ending to discuss. Talking about this might help you when writing your ‘Tiger Tale’
