Grocery Maths Game: Change, % Off, Use-By

Digital maths game for Years 4–8: serve plush animal customers in a little grocery shop and practise making change, percentage discounts and use-by dates.

How it works
Pupils run a grocery shop and serve 9 customers per game. Each customer brings a real maths mission. Score out of 20, earn stars and upgrade the shop from a rough shed to a royal grocery. Every mistake is explained step by step.

Skills practised

• Stock: counting cases and singles (multiplication and addition)
• Use-by dates: working out the days left (time and calendars)
• Sales: percentage discounts of an amount (benchmark percentages, decimals)
• Till: making change in pounds and pence

For every learner
Suitable for Years 4–8 (ages 8–13), intervention and catch-up, and pupils with SEN. Includes a reading-comfort option and a calculator, and the game runs on computers, tablets and phones.
