Materials Monday Give children the opportunity to use play money and an online catalogue and in pairs calculate the change from a variety of purchases. Observe children to see where their learning is at.
Select the ‘Cost and Change‘Theme in the settings menu.Click the purple dollar sign button to generate a random amount on the price tag (the randomised range can be edited in the settings menu).Drag an amount of money into the ‘Money Given’ column.Have students act as the cashier, dragging the change into the ‘Change’ column.Students can then click the ‘Check change’ button to see if the amount of change they offered is correct. (The price tag will animate green if correct or shake red if incorrect allowing them to try again.)
