This week in Mathematics we are exploring the numbers 4 and 5, looking for them in the environment and representing them in different ways.

We decided to set up a shop and used 1p coins to make different amounts. We sorted all of the items we wanted to sell. talking about why they belonged in each section of the shop, then we made price labels for the items. Some items were more than 5p, so we carefully counted out the right number of coins to make each amount.

We’ve even started to create a cafe within our shop, so customers can have a drink and snack when they finish their shopping!
