Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book, Adding and subtracting money

In the Max Maths workbook for Year 2, young learners are presented with practical exercises to enhance their skills in adding and subtracting money. Practice 3 focuses on calculating the total cost of various items for sale in a shop. For instance, children are asked to determine the combined price of blocks and a yo-yo, as well as the total cost of a yo-yo and balloons. The exercises encourage students to perform simple addition to find the total amounts. These activities are designed to be interactive and engaging, using familiar objects such as toys and sweets to make learning relatable and fun for the children.

Further sections in the workbook guide the students through different scenarios involving money. They are tasked with finding the total amounts of money when combining different sums, understanding how much money characters like Jade and Toby have, and calculating how much they have together. Additionally, exercises require the students to figure out the correct change from transactions, such as buying a pencil, a toy car, or a teddy bear. The workbook also includes problems where children must decide if characters have enough money to buy items like ice cream and lollipops, or how much more they need for certain purchases. These real-world applications of mathematics help solidify the concepts of financial literacy at an early age.
