Money Why Students Will Love This Lesson

Students will love the Money lesson because it incorporates practical skills that they can use in everyday life. The mental warm-up, where they transform simple circles into coins, sparks creativity and sets the tone for fun learning. When students explore which coins to use for different items on a café menu, they actively engage in the learning process. This hands-on approach makes the lesson more enjoyable as they learn to recognize and use different value coins. The challenge of selecting the right coins to make payments adds an element of problem-solving that keeps students excited and motivated. Overall, this lesson provides a real-world application that resonates with students.

Sample Questions

1. If you want to buy a sandwich for £2.50 and a juice for £1.20, which coins could you use to pay for these items?
2. What is the total cost of a muffin priced at £1.80 and a cookie priced at £0.90? Which coins can you use to pay for your choices?
3. Can you create a different combination of coins to pay for a snack and a drink that totals £3.00?
