Money - Give Change - Presentation

In a series of educational slides focused on the concept of 'change' in monetary transactions, students are encouraged to recap and reinforce their understanding of how to calculate change. The term 'change' refers to the amount of money that is returned to a customer when the payment made exceeds the cost of the item purchased. The presentation prompts students to think about the definition of 'change' and to provide examples to illustrate their understanding. The slides guide students through a variety of activities where they are tasked with determining the amount of change due from different scenarios. For example, one activity requires students to calculate the change Cara receives after buying strawberries for 34p with a 50p coin. These exercises are designed to build fluency and reasoning skills in dealing with money.

Further activities introduce more complex situations, such as Jayda buying a packet of crisps for 45p with £1, and Cara spending £6.80 from a £10 note, with students using number lines to help solve the problems. Another activity involves Malachi buying books for £2.25 and paying with a £5 note, where students are encouraged to use a part-whole model to calculate the change. The exercises become progressively challenging, with reasoning tasks that ask students to determine which coins could make up the change given. For instance, Leanna receives six coins as change after spending £6.80 on party balloons with a £10 note. The presentation also includes independent work where students can apply their preferred method to solve problems and calculate change, furthering their understanding of money management.
