Whaea Emma’s Maths group have been learning about money! First, they had a blast creating their own shops, attaching prices to different items and then getting to use their own play money to purchase items. Each ākonga had a go at being the shopkeeper, ensuring they were getting the right money for the price.
This week, we continued to learn about the different coins and notes we use in New Zealand. We learned how much each coin was worth, and if I collected two 50-cent coins, they would be worth the same as one $1 coin. Then we used 3 different coins to create a pattern. We repeated our pattern 3 times.
We would love to continue this learning, so if you have any coins at home, let us have a go!
