Money · Year 3

In Year 3 you learn: adding and subtracting amounts of money; giving change.

Money is counted in coins and notes. 100 pence make £1, and 100 cents make $1, €1 or R1. We add up prices, work out change, compare deals and plan budgets.

Key facts

  • £1 = 100p, $1 = 100¢, €1 = 100c, R1 = 100c.
  • To count coins, start with the biggest and count on.
  • Change = money paid − cost. You can also count up from the cost to the money paid.
  • Best value: work out the price of one item (or of 100 g) for each offer.
