What Can I Buy? 2

• We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
• 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 solve problems involving purchases and calculate change to the nearest 5 cents, using both mental strategies and digital tools.
