Children can find the difference by adding or subtracting. To take this a little further and develop fluency children can find the difference between two amounts of money.

Children working at the standard should be able to exchange amounts of money e.g knowing that ten 10p coins has the same value as £1.00.

This would be suitable for year 1 or 2. Year 1 could record by adding whereas year 2 could use addition and multiplication. Money investigation - looking at different possibilities for spending 20p. Easter focus.

Following the Primary Curriculum for year 2 - using question prompts chn investigate, test, observe and record their findings after blowing bubbles on the playground.

Year 2 greater depth - Chn should be able to solve 2 step word problems. Adding amounts to find the total of 2 items and them finding and recording the change. Additional depth questions - drawing the coins for the change in 2 different ways.

At greater depth the children need to read clock faces with 5 minute intervals. The children can write the time after reading it.

As part of the Year 2 standard children need to read 15 minute intervals of clocks. Use these and the children write the time of the clock face.
