Money – warm up

I have the same amount of money in each pocket. In my left pocket I have 2 coins and in my right I have 6 coins.

Eg

30c (20c + 10c) and 30 c (6 x 5c).

$2 ($1 + $1) and $2 (2 x 20c, 3 x 50c and 1 x 10c) 

Do one example first to model and show using number line to add amounts together. What other strategies could we use?

 

Have students on the floor using a whiteboard and practising the skill together.
