Money - Assessment

The 'Money - Year 2' assessment is a practical exercise designed for Year 2 students to test their understanding of money through various tasks. The first task requires students to count money, helping them to become familiar with different denominations and their values. In another task, students must calculate the difference in cost between two items, such as a bag and a coat, enhancing their ability to compare and perform simple subtractions with monetary values. They are awarded one mark for correctly identifying how much more the coat costs than the bag.

Additional tasks include matching coins to the correct amount, determining who has more money between two individuals based on the coins they have, and selecting the correct combination of coins that total a specific value. For instance, students are asked to tick the coins that make 77p and are given a mark for the correct answer. There are exercises involving part-whole models to further develop their understanding of money, as well as practical scenarios where students must circle the correct coins based on given conditions, such as how much more money one person has over another. The assessment also includes a real-life application question where students must use a cafe price list to determine which sandwiches can be bought within a set budget, and identify the coin used for a transaction when given the cost and the change received.
