P4 are working hard to calculate money calculations this term.

Each pupil drew an item for our class “virtual” shop and decided on a price for that item. These items are to be displayed on our class washing line for our 9 o’clock maths challenge. Pupils will choose 2 items and write the prices of these items as a chimney sum and add them together.  The total cost will then be deducted from either £5, £10 or £20 with the change written as various money combinations.

This is helping pupils to gain a better understanding of the addition and subtraction of decimals (money) – skills for life, learning and work.

This will also help us when making preparations for our enterprise project for the school summer fayre.
