Working with Money

We did a scramble in class to collect a random amount of coins for learning about money.


With our money we went to P5-7 to buy some art.


P5-7 had drawn pictures and had made an art gallery for us to buy from.


Once we had looked at the art, we bought what we could afford.


The art was really good.


Back in class we displayed the coins we had left over into columns. 


We took photos of our money charts.



Tomorrow we will use the photos to answer data handling questions such as which column has the most coins?


Which column is worth the most?


How many 1p coins are there?


How many 2p coins are there?


Which is worth more, the 1p column or the 2p column?



We will encourage counting in 2s for 2p coins and counting In 5s for 5p coins etc.








We will add up each column and see if we can add up the grand total.


The next time we will use a mixture of coins to make various totals.
