Money Game - Notes
This game is designed for 4-5 players and is great for teaching students to add notes and coins. It covers all coins and notes. Throughout this game students take turns to select a coin card from a pile and add the total cost of the coins. They then find an item in either theirs or another player's shop for that exact price. Tokens are collected along the way to trade or use for free turns.

Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise the relationships between dollars and cents and represent money values in different ways, e.g. calculating change in role-plays.
- We are learning to count the change required for simple transactions to the nearest five cents and represent money in multiple ways.
- We are learning to solve practical problems involving addition and multiplication including money problems, such as budgeting, using multiple strategies.
- We are learning to calculate change to the nearest 5 cents and solve problems involving purchases.
- We are learning to recognise and extend place value to tenths and hundredths use decimal notation to name and represent decimals.
- We are learning to use estimation and rounding to check and explain calculations including transactions involving money.
- We are learning to solve problems involving purchases and calculate change to the nearest 5 cents, using both mental strategies and digital tools.
