Money Why Students Will Love This Lesson

Students will love the Money lesson because it actively engages them in real-world scenarios that they can relate to. The mental warm-up question, “What are the different ways I could pay?” encourages them to think creatively about money management. As they calculate totals and determine how much change they would receive from 50p, they will feel empowered by their ability to understand money. The challenge of choosing items from a café menu not only enhances their math skills but also fosters friendly competition as they strive to maximize their change. This interactive approach makes learning about money exciting and practical, ensuring that students remain motivated throughout the lesson.

Sample Questions

1. If you choose a sandwich for £1.20 and a drink for £0.80, how much change would you get from 50p?
2. What two items could you buy for a total of £0.40 to receive exactly 10p change from 50p?
3. If you wanted to spend as little as possible and still get something from the café menu, what would you choose to maximize your change from 50p?
