After learning about money, recognising coins, adding and subtracting money and learning about change, the year 3.1 students turned their classroom into a shop. This gave them the opportunity to practice what they learned in a fun way. They discussed what they wanted to buy in a group setting, agreed upon a budget, ‘went shopping’ in our class shop and mentally calculated how much change they should be given.The students were also presented with other hands-on problem solving situations involving money that included the use of receipts, tickets and menus.

K1.3 pupils of Ms Nagaat Bugeja were taken to the greengrocer shop next to the school to practice numeracy skills.  They followed a simple and short shopping list to make a purchase whilst practising number recognition and value.

Pupils enjoyed making fruit kebabs with the purchased fruit.

Shop02The Year 3.2 students of Ms Stephanie went for a Maths shopping activity in the locality of  Mgarr. During this activity the children had the opportunity to experience, first-hand, shopping groceries for a recipe they had to prepare at school. The children went to a grocery and to the bakery to buy ingredients for a healthy sandwich. They had to pay for the ingredients and make sure they were given the correct change. This activity helped children to learn more about bills, estimates, prices, change and euro coins.
