Selecting Money - PowerPoint

In a mathematics teaching resource designed for Year 2 students, the focus is on the concept of selecting money. The PowerPoint presentation guides students through a series of exercises where they must identify and select the correct coins to match a given amount. This activity aims to enhance their understanding of coin values and their ability to use different combinations of coins to reach a total sum. Students are presented with various amounts in pence and pounds, and they are tasked with circling the correct coins that add up to these amounts. This exercise is interactive and encourages students to engage with the concept of money through visual representation.

Further into the lesson, students are challenged with comparison exercises where they must identify the odd one out from groups of purses with different money amounts. Additionally, they are asked to draw money in purses to match specified amounts, which helps to reinforce the skill of money selection. The resource also includes a true or false section where students must determine the validity of statements regarding the combination of coins needed to reach certain amounts. This exercise tests their critical thinking and further deepens their comprehension of money. The resource is structured to promote discussion and comparison of answers with peers, fostering collaborative learning and problem-solving skills.
