Money - Powerpoint

In a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation designed for Year 2 pupils, the topic of Money within the Measurement category is explored. The resource, created by Teacher of Primary, aims to enhance students' practical understanding of money through various engaging activities. The lesson's objectives include practising the use of money by finding totals of coins, giving change, and solving money problems. The presentation introduces British coins, highlighting their distinct shapes, sizes, and colours, and encourages students to familiarize themselves with the value of each coin through interactive slides where they can click to reveal the answers.

The PowerPoint continues with exercises that help students apply their knowledge of coin values. They calculate the total value of coins in purses and determine which coins are needed to pay for items, with the option to click and reveal the correct combinations. Additionally, the resource offers challenges where students find different groups of coins that equal a given amount, further reinforcing their understanding of money. To assist with giving change, a handy counting up method is demonstrated, showing how to efficiently calculate change from a given amount. Finally, the presentation includes a series of money problems that students can solve using a number line, covering scenarios such as adding amounts, comparing costs, making purchases, and determining change, all aimed at building confidence and proficiency in handling money in everyday situations.
