Money Games Calculating Change BUNDLE

Practise the key skill of finding change for different amounts! Key Stage 2 (KS2) Money Change Games and Activities BUNDLE for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 (Y3 / Y4 / Y5 / Y6), depending on ability: 16 fun, differentiated, illustrated four-in-a-row Maths game boards (each featuring 36 prices in UK currency) for calculating change from £1, £5, £10 and £20, plus a loop card / dominoes set for each of the above amounts. Ideal for starter activities and early finishers activities in Maths lessons or for practice in Money Weeks. All in PDF format. In Scotland, use for Primary 4, 5, 6 and 7.

 
FOUR IN A ROW
A fun, strategic activity for consolidating this key money / shopping skill. A total of 16 boards.

All four packs (One pound, five pounds, ten pounds, twenty pounds) include:

• 2 standard game boards (featuring different items and prices from each other)

• 2 lower ability game boards (same boards as above but with mostly less challenging calculations)

• Answer grids for all 4 boards for at-a-glance checking by pupils or teacher

 
Intended to be laminated and used again and again. Children can work as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. It works especially well if they roll a dice each time to find which column they have to pick a calculation from (columns numbered 1-6). If there are no questions left in a particular column, they could skip a go or roll again. Pupils use a different coloured whiteboard pen to record answers on the board or add an initial or symbol if both players / teams are using the same colour. I recommend printing in A3 but it works fine in A4. The LA versions have a star next to the title but could perhaps be printed on different coloured card or paper if required.

 
LOOP GAME / FOLLOW ME CARDS / DOMINOES
Four 20-card sets (£1, £5, £10, £20) that can start with any card. A child reads the ‘I spend’ part first with others working out whether they have the relevant ‘I give you’. Use as a game for groups or perhaps as a whole class / whole group starter or plenary (in pairs if necessary). LA pupils could be given less challenging cards so they can still experience success.

I hope these Numeracy resources save you time and work well in your class. I would be very grateful for a review if you get a moment. Thank you.
