Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Adding and subtracting money (2)

In a practical exercise from Max Maths for Year 2, children are introduced to the concept of adding and subtracting money through a scenario involving Toby, who goes shopping with his mother. The task begins by asking the young learners to calculate the total amount of money Toby has taken with him, which is presented in the form of dollar notes. This exercise aims to strengthen the students' ability to add different values of money and understand the total sum they represent.

Further, the children are challenged with questions that require them to add the costs of different items to find the total expense. They need to calculate the combined cost of a pair of shoes and a pair of socks, and separately, the total price of a pair of shoes and a cap. The items are individually priced, with the shirt costing $9, the cap $13, the shoes $32, and the socks $6. These exercises are designed to help students practice their addition skills in a real-world context, enhancing their understanding of monetary values and basic arithmetic. To continue their practice, students are directed to workbook pages 171 to 179 for additional exercises.
