This week, we have been learning how to add and subtract different amounts of money, as well as calculating change given. As part of your learning conversation, it would be brilliant if you could go to the shops with your child and allow them to use coins and notes to pay for items. You may then want to look at the receipt and calculate the change and the transaction.

An extension for this could be to get an Argos catalogue, tell them they have £20 and see what items they can purchase with this amount, as well as the change expected. They could cut the items out and stick them to a piece of paper and show their workings. 

An excellent website for this is: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/money
