I am a Primary School teacher, currently working in Year 3 and about to complete my NQT year (which has flown by and been absolutely brilliant!) following completion of my PGCE at the University of Cambridge. As this is my first year of teaching, the majority of my resources are aimed at Year 3 students though I have a number of children with SEN so activities are differentiated many ways. Usually they follow a 'mild, medium, spicy' format with further differentiation for additional needs.

Money: calculating change using a number line and adding up.

Ancient Egyptian themed. The Nile Stores sells lots of items - prices are differentiated 3 ways. Print out and cut up lots of copies of the medium and spicy numberlines. Children choose mild, medium or spicy and take a copy of the price list and some numberline challenges. At the left, they write the price of the item, at the right they write how much money they have (stated on the challenge card). They then counting up to the number and work out their change by figuring the size of the jumps. Model this carefully. The children really enjoyed this activity and found the new method for working out change accessible.
