I dropped into a fantastic Maths lesson this morning during which Yr4 pupils had to speedily rearrange financial values into the least coins / notes – I was amazed at how quickly they could do this and more importantly, they found different ways to go about this sharing their methods with partners.
I suspect that a few mums and dads are going to have to empty their pockets tonight, as homework was to continue this activity with real money…good luck!
