Are you looking for fun and practical money activities? Then you've hit the jackpot with this Year 3 Pounds and Pence supporting activity. Children are given mystery bags of money and place their coins and notes in ascending order as well as calculating the total. This ensures that they are able to recognise the value of the different coins and develop their addition skills.

This activity would work well in a small group with an adult. Once children are more confident with the rules it could be run independently.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in practical contexts
