Money Why Students Will Love This Lesson

Students will love the Money lesson because it combines creativity with practical math skills. The mental warm-up activity of finding two items that cost more than 30p engages their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities right from the start. As they explore different ways to make 50p using only silver coins, students will find joy in collaborating with their peers to discover various combinations. The use of a ‘spider chart’ to record their findings adds a visual element to the lesson, making it interactive and fun. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their understanding of coins and values but also encourages teamwork and communication, making the learning experience enjoyable.

Sample Questions

1. What combinations of silver coins can you use to make exactly 50p? List them all!
2. If you were to make 40p using only silver coins, what combinations could you create?
3. Can you think of two items that, when combined, would cost more than 30p? What are they?

Benefits to Teachers
