Well done for all your adding yesterday! 🙂
One of the most common things we have to work out with money is the change. Change is the amount a shop keeper gives back to you if you pay too much for something. For example, if something costs £8 and you pay with a £10 note, you will get £2 back. What would the number sentence be for this?
Hopefully, you said: 10 – 8 = 2
Have a look at our In Focus task:
Here, it is not as simple as my first example because Charles has bought two things. So the first thing to do is to work out the total he spent (total is adding so, £25 + £65) and then we can take the total away from the amount he paid (£100 – £90) which will help us work out the change!
Work your way through Worksheet 9, carefully reading the questions so you know what to do!
Then, I’d like you to continue to practise working out the change by doing this BBC Bitesize lesson and the activities and games. There is even a song and dance to do!
Once you have finished the BBC Bitesize lesson, I have some more challenges for you to try! Not only do you need to work out the change, but also work out which coins Grace used!
Challenge 1
Challenge 2
I have done my Maths.
Challenge 1: the 3 coins are 5p+5p+10p
Challenge 2: I can see 2 ways to get 1 pound and 15p:
5p+5p+5p +1pound
10p+5p+50p+50p
Are there others?
Great work Adrien! Well done for doing the challenges ⭐ Let’s see if anyone else can find any other ways to make £1.15!
All challenges and bbc questions done.
Wonderful Finley! Great work ⭐
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I have completed the worksheets for today and they were so fun!?
I’m glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I finished my Maths hw and did also some of the BBC sizebite. Money is pretty hard but I keep on practising ?
Greetings,
Sophia
I’m glad you’re practising it, that’s the best way to get better at it! Well done 🙂
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I have done the worksheet and mathletics. Bye.
Fantastic work Jack! Well done 🙂
Miss I completed my worksheets
Well done Layla 🙂
Dear Miss Carruthers, I have done my maths worksheet. It was very hard and mummy helped me . I will do the rest of my maths after lunch.
I’m glad your mummy could help you, it can be quite tricky. Enjoy your lunch! 🙂
Grace could have been given 5p, 5p and 10p.
In challenge 2 Grace could have been given £1, 5p, 5p and 5p or 2 50p coins and 10p and 5p.
Excellent work Kristian 🙂
I am finished my maths. Maths today was hard and easy. The challenges were the hardest. Challenge 2 was the hardest. We got 2 answers: 1. £1, 5p, 5p, 5p 2. 50p, 50p, 10p, 5p.
The challenges are meant to be a bit trickier, just to get your brain working even more 🙂 Well done!
Hi Miss – we’ve done the worksheet, most of the BBC lesson and the challenges.
Well done! I’m impressed that you’ve done all three tasks! ⭐ ⭐
I did the worksheet and the two challenges. I got 5p, 5p and 10p for the first challenge, and £1, 5p, 5p, 5p, and 50p, 50p, 10p, 5p for the second challenge. My whole family can’t think of a third way to do the second challenge using four coins. Except my Dad says you could have £1, 10p, 10p, 10p and owe the shopkeeper 15p. But is there another way?
I’m impressed that you managed to get your whole family involved, and I’m sure you’ve worked out that there are only two ways to solve it! (I just didn’t want to give the answers away too early..!) Well done for working through the challenge fully!
I did the worksheet.
challenge 1 = 10p 5p 5p
challenge 2= 50p 50p 10p 5p
I will do Bite side now.
Well done Rafael. I hope you enjoy the Bitesize activities.
I’ve completed my maths worksheet and the activities in the BBC Bitesize challenge. It was OK.
Challenge 1: £1.00 – 80p = 20p
With 3 coins, Grace will get 10p, 5p and 5p in change.
Challenge 2: £2.00 – 85p = £1.15p
With 4 coins, the combinations are:
£1, 5p, 5p, 5p
50p, 50p, 10p and 5p
Wonderful work, well done Catherine.
Good afternoon Miss Carruthers,
we did all our homework and challenges . It was okay.
Well done girls, I’m glad you found it okay!
Hello Miss
I have done my work and the answer
to challenge one is 5+5+10
the 2 challenge 10+5+50+50.
Well done Marisa!

Brilliant!
Hi I completed the worksheets for today they were a bit tricky.
Thanks for letting me know Anna. It’s okay if you found them a bit tricky. We’ll have another practise tomorrow and hopefully that’ll help 🙂
