Money Addition & Subtraction

Solve simple money problems involving addition and subtraction, including giving change

Lesson

Set out your lesson

Keep money units consistent when finding totals, change and a shortfall.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Comfort with the particular task and communication mode; optional oral/scribed work is recorded separately.

Policy

Check the learner can access these words/materials and prerequisite ideas; historical authorship is not readiness or mastery. If not, demonstrate briefly or revisit the named prerequisite.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes

Check the learner can access these words/materials and prerequisite ideas; historical authorship is not readiness or mastery. If not, demonstrate briefly or revisit the named prerequisite.

Use paper prices in pence. Real coins are optional; paper circles work equally well. No printer: view only the active learner card on screen, or an adult copies its exact prompts onto plain paper without answers. Oral pointing/dictation is an access option; record it as adapted/supported and do not claim handwriting from it. Keep adult keys/scripts separate; supply only the current stage.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Teaching limits and safe use

These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.

  • Simple fictional prices in UK notation; no real purchasing or fluency generalisation.

Use fictional cases and invented identifiers; never record personal conflicts, health, bank details or family spending. Adult prompts/keys are private companion files, never learner links.

Check understanding

  • Calculate the total cost of two items priced in pence
  • Work out change from 50p after buying an item costing 35p
  • Solve 'How much more money do I need?' problems
“If your child buys a snack for 45p and pays with a £1 coin, can they work out how much change they should get — and count it back?”
