Money problems based on the story of The Great Pet Sale. Children need to find out the cost of each animal in the story (or prices could be provided e.g. in a role play pet shop as we did in my class) then complete the addition money questions, then find change due from 20p.

Necklace length activity

(0)
An activity to draw necklaces of a given length and then compare to find the longest and shortest. We used it as part of a Royalty unit alongside practical jewellery making. I asked the children to draw the line of the necklace first, then add their decorations by drawing, collaging etc. You could also incorporate repeating patterns or symmetry.
