Money - Counting in coins - Starter

For Year 1 students in the summer term, week 10, day 4, the lesson starts with a 'Fluent in Four' revision exercise that includes simple subtraction problems and counting in coins. The children are presented with subtraction questions such as "17 minus 14" and "2 tens minus half of 20," which they solve to find the total. The exercise also involves counting coins, where students are asked to count five one-pound coins and determine the total value. Additionally, they complete sentences related to the number of items, such as doughnuts, by identifying the correct quantity from a number sequence. This activity not only reinforces their subtraction skills but also introduces them to basic financial literacy by counting in coins.

Continuing with the 'Fluent in Four' revision on day 5, the children face a new set of challenges that include finding the result of subtracting a quarter of 16 from 17, and working out the total value of coins. They are also tasked with identifying multiples of 5 from a number grid, which helps them understand patterns in numbers. Another exercise asks them to calculate the difference between 10 and 4, reinforcing their understanding of subtraction. These activities are designed to enhance the students' numerical fluency and ability to solve problems involving basic arithmetic and money.
