Year 2 Money - Addition and Subtraction - PowerPoint

The Year 2 Money - Addition and Subtraction PowerPoint is a comprehensive teaching resource that introduces young learners to the concepts of money management through engaging mathematical activities. The resource helps children to understand the value of different coins and notes, and how to perform basic addition and subtraction operations with money. For example, students are prompted to complete tables by calculating the total amount from given pounds and pence, such as adding £3 and 40p, or finding the sum of £1 and 25p. This exercise not only reinforces their arithmetic skills but also enhances their practical understanding of money.

Further activities include completing part whole models, where students break down amounts into smaller parts, such as dividing 15p into 7p and 8p, or building up to larger sums like combining £20 and £10 to make £30. The resource also challenges students with real-world scenarios, asking them to calculate the cost of multiple items, like an apple and a banana, or to work out the difference in price between various products. These exercises are designed to build confidence in handling money and to develop a solid foundation in financial literacy from a young age. Additionally, worksheets are provided to help students practice finding change and understanding which coins could be used to make up specific amounts, further solidifying their grasp on the use of money in everyday situations.
