Teaching Presentation: Place value in money: add/subtract. (Year 3 Place Value and Money)

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives:

• Develop understanding of place value in money.
• Use to add and subtract.
  It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.

Day 1 Teaching
Show 3 large pound coins, a 50p coin and a 2p coin (or IWB coins). How much money is here? How can we write it? Revise how we write this as £3.52. Rehearse writing amounts of money.

Day 2 Teaching
Display the Money place value grid (see resources). Remind children how to write amounts in £ and p. Write amounts including those containing 0 on the PV grid. Compare the amounts using symbols.

Day 3 Teaching
Play the ‘Nasty Game’ and record place value additions such as £2 + 30p + 5p, £2.05 + 30p, etc. Check all possibilities. Ensure children are confident in writing amounts such as £2.05 and do not write this as £2.5. Ask children to write subtraction sentences for same amount.

This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 3 Place Value and Money block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
