Using money in Year 3

This term, as part of the Financial Curriculum, Year 3 have been working hard to learn how to use money in practical contexts. They have investigated all the different ways to make amounts of money and have played customer and shopkeeper!

Here you can see children using a range of mental strategies to find different amounts of change.

"It was really fun and interesting to learn all about what using money actually meant in the real world. I now feel confident to go shopping and use money myself!"

Sacha, Willow class

"I really enjoyed playing shopkeeper, it helped me understand how important it is to give the right amount of change."

Olivia, Willow class

Well done Year 3, make sure to keep practising using money at home!
