Money worksheet

The KS2Gems 2022 money worksheet is an educational resource designed to help Year 3 students achieve their Measures objectives related to money. Each activity in the booklet is clearly aligned with these objectives and specifies the necessary equipment or resources. The activities can be adapted for whole class, group, or pair work, allowing teachers to tailor the exercises to suit the diverse needs of their pupils. Whether used at the start to review previous knowledge, as the main focus to reinforce new concepts, or at the end to evaluate progress, these activities complement the existing curriculum and are particularly beneficial for children requiring additional support.

Among the engaging activities, one involves setting up a shop role-play where children act as shopkeepers or customers, practicing their skills in totaling costs and giving change. Another real-world application is having a class stall at a school event to provide hands-on experience in handling transactions. Additional exercises include budgeting for a takeaway meal or planning a bedroom makeover within a set financial limit, as well as various challenges involving coins and notes to find different combinations or the least number of coins needed for a given amount. The activities are designed to enhance practical understanding of adding and subtracting money, with variations to keep the learning process dynamic and interactive.
