Compare Money Lesson
This Year 2 Compare Money lesson covers the prior learning of comparing numbers, before moving onto the main skill of comparing amounts of money.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill.
