Money is one of the concepts we have been learning in Maths.  This week, we focused on recognising coins and notes, sorting money, counting and adding amounts and discussing the importance of money and  how it affects our lives.  We also showed amounts of money using different combinations of coins and we all practised writing amounts of money on the whiteboard.

Next week, we will use iPads and the Smartboard to play different money games and focus on adding pounds and pence to find a total.

Bonnie – Money is really important because it helps you buy things that you want.

Karlie – We all need money to buy things that we need and things that we want.

Peter – I liked writing the pound sign.

Cody – I filled the whole whiteboard by writing lots of money amounts.  You shouldn’t write ‘p’ (for pence) if you are writing an amount like £10.50, you only need the pound sign.

Jacob – I could make lots of ways to make £2.75.

Jordyn – I enjoyed sorting the coins and I did it quickly.

Rocco – You can make an amount using different coins.

Alexander – I liked adding the (total) cost of things.
