Money Money Money

This week we have started learning about money.  We had a big discussion about what money is and Miss Shearer filled up the whole white board with the words and ideas we came up with.  We realised the topic of money is no just about coins! 

Today we were thinking about adding coins up and giving change.  We worked in pairs to challenge each other with a total and then working out the change we would give using the coins we had on the table. 

We had to really think about the coins we were using and the change we were giving each other.  We are going to work on this throughout the week as well as learning about the different ways people get and access money.
