Combining coins

DSCF0418

Today in maths we were finding different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money.

On each table there were pots of coins which had 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and £1 in them. Also there were food that had different prices on them.

Each child had to pick a labelled food and then make that amount of money in lots of different ways. Once they had done this, they then had to decide which was the best way.

We really enjoyed doing this and found lots of different ways to make the same amount of money.
