This week in Maths the class were asked,
‘How can we show we know how to use money?’
They discussed in groups and came up with ideas like helping parents pay for a pint of milk or a small snack with coins at a shop but I reminded them that they were in a classroom. Some other ideas were spoken about and then they thought that they could create a shop and they set about making labels with products and prices on them. Once they had made some the shopping began with them taking turns being the shopkeeper and customers who had to make sure to pay with coins. This then advanced to some giving change. The ideas then developed further and one group even create a VIP card for their shop.
Amazing learning and all child led.
