Target Strategies
Recognising money amounts
Using a variety of note/coin combinations
Representing money amounts, using renaming and proportional reasoning (e.g. using 4 x 5c coins to represent 20c)
Preparation
All students to have a money board, either the coins or notes board
Students to have a plastic sleeve and texta or highlighter for recording, and something to wipe their boards with
Closed Questions
Explain to the students the purpose of your mental routine, e.g. that you are looking at different ways of making money amounts.
I made 50 cents using only 3 coins, which coins did I use?
I collected 11 of the same coin and had a total of $1.10, which coin did I have?
I went to the shop and spent $3.50. I gave the shop keeper a $5.00 note. What change did I receive?
I went to the shop and brought 3 items. It cost me $3.50. I paid for my items with only 3 coins. Which coins were they?
Open Questions
I had 50 cents/ $1.00/ $1.20/ etc in my pocket, what coins might I have?
I went to the shop and bought an item for $1.40, what coins might I have used to pay for it?
I bought an item and it cost more than $3.00. I gave the shop keeper $5.00. What change might I have been given?
Flip Questions
Play Guess the Hidden Coins/Notes. Cross off a money amount on your mental routine board. Students need to ask yes or no questions to find out what the hidden money amount is. Questions could include:
Is your money amount greater than $2.00?
Did you use more than 4 coins/notes?
Did you use a 50c coin?
Keep playing until the money amount is revealed. Encourage no repeat or baby questions for older students. E.g. for older students is your amount a multiple of 5?
