Step 1-2: Free Consolidation of Steps 1-2 Year 2 Money Learning Video Clip

Larry’s Leisure Centre has just opened its doors to the public and two children, Layla and Amir, are going to check out the new facilities. Pupils will need to help Amir and Layla figure out how much money they each have, how much money Larry has dropped and convert the prices of items in the vending machine so that Larry can buy a drink.

This Learning Video Clip has been designed as a consolidation tool for steps 1 and 2. It contains content relevant to all these steps and can be used in parts to recap a particular step or in on its own at the end of a teaching sequence for the included steps.
