Answer the following questions by telling someone your answers or by writing them down in your jotter/on paper/use the template.

  1. How many monkeys, giraffes and parrots does mum and Albie buy at the supermarket?  Add up the total.
  2. If you were Albie, what would you have bought at the supermarket? Why?  (use ‘because’ to explain).
  3. If I were Albie’s mum and I used headings on my shopping list, I’d have monkeys, giraffes, lizards, tortoises, lions and parrots under the ANIMALS heading; and I’d have hay, lion food, vegetables, fruits and nuts under the FOOD heading.
  4. Write a shopping list of things you would like from the shops. Can you write the price for each items (real or made up) and add up your total?

*   Challenge: Can you use headings and sub-headings to group items on your list?  You might         want to use TOYS, FOOD, DRINK, SCHOOL STUFF as headings for your items.
