We will teach the children to count notes and coins together and we use the expression ten pound and 23 pence. We do not introduce children to decimals yet. - To select the correct money.
Children will be given numerous items to buy and they need to select the right amount of money to buy the items. - To make the same amount using different notes and coins
Children will develop their understanding of different ways to make the same amount. The children will begin to see that 10p can be made using 2p, 2p, 2p, 2p and 2p or it can be made using 5p and 5p.
Florence Nightingale will be introduced to the children. The children we be shown several pictures of Florence Nightingale and then they will answer questions to help them get an understanding of her life.
