Money
Change up to £10
This game is broken into two sections. First, you can allow your children to calculate the change from a chosen amount.
Second, you can allow your children to use the appropriate coins to purchase items.
Money and Explain Everything
Allow your children to import coins to the Explain Everything app and create different amounts and work out change.

Money: Change
You can’t get a more realistic learning game than this one when teaching children about change.
Providing a meaningful context will help consolidate their learning.
Fantastic KS1/KS2 resource linked to money that you can differentiate easily.
Finding Change
A fantastic resource to help children learn change in a meaningful and contextual way.
Change Games
Giving change is always a tricky concept for your children to grasp. That’s why it is important to give them plenty of role-play time in shop situations and many problems in context.
This resource is broken down into stages depending on the level of your children and gives the children a simple problem, ‘I had 45p to spend. I bought one thing and now I have 20p left. What did I buy?’
The children then count on from the smaller amount to the larger amount to determine the cost of the item purchased.
There are many possible answers to choose from.
A wonderful way to integrate context and problems into your money lessons.
Sweet Shop
