This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Develop understanding of place value in money. Use to add and subtract. It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Teaching Show 3 large pound coins, a 50p coin and a 2p coin (or IWB coins). How much money is here? How can we write it? Revise how we write this as £3.52. Rehearse writing amounts of money. Day 2 Teaching Display the Money place value grid (see resources). Remind children how to write amounts in £ and p. Write amounts including those containing 0 on the PV grid. Compare the amounts using symbols. Day 3 Teaching Play the ‘Nasty Game’ and record place value additions such as £2 + 30p + 5p, £2.05 + 30p, etc. Check all possibilities. Ensure children are confident in writing amounts such as £2.05 and do not write this as £2.5. Ask children to write subtraction sentences for same amount.
