We have had a very busy start to 2017 and have all been working super hard!

We have been learning how to total coins and also how to select coins for an amount.

Our class shop

We came in to find our classroom had a new area – a supermarket! We were allowed to choose items we wanted to buy and then had to select the correct coins for the price.

We took turns to fill our baskets and waited in line to get to the check out.

Toyshop bingo

We took turns to uncover a money card. We had to add up the coins on the card and try to find a toy with the matching price on our bingo board.

Add the coins

We were able to choose any 3 coins we wanted and try to add them up. We tried to challenge ourselves to have £ and p.

Make the amount

Here we had to make the amount at the top of our board by selecting the correct coins.

Next steps

Next we will learn to choose the least amount of coins to show an amount and we are even going to learn to calculate change!
