Today we will be learning:

• how to solve “real-life” problems

• how to solve problems involving money.

Mental Activity

We are going to play Multiplication Bingo.

Work with a partner.

Draw a grid of six squares on paper.

Write down six even numbers from 2 to 30.

Multiply each of the following cardnumbers by 2.

If you have the answer on your grid,cross it out.

The first pair to cross off all six numbers wins.

In this shop, sweets can only

be bought in multiples of:

How much would 5 fizzy chews

cost?

5 x 2p = 10p

How much would 3 sherbet lemons

cost?

3 x 3p = 9p

If Kofi has 20p, how many pieces of liquorice can

he buy?

20 5 = 4

How much would 4 cola bottles

cost?

4 x 7p = 28p

Group Work

Work out the prices of multiples of sweets from the list.

Copy the list of sweets, change the prices to multiples of 5 up to 50p. Record how many of each item you could buy if you had £1.00, then £2.00.

Copy the list of sweets, change the prices to amounts between £1.00 and £3.00. Work out the prices of multiples of different sweets.
