Good morning everyone.
Maths No Problem
1st Answer pages for Thursday’s Lesson 5
Today’s lesson: Chapter 9 Money … Lesson 6 – Solving problems involving money
Lesson Objective: To be able to solve word problems involving multiplication of money.
Textbook pages: 75 – 77 Workbook pages 52 – 53
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and tell them we are still learning to solve problems involving money. Ask them what they think the problems will involve today. Allow them to discuss the In Focus task and share their thoughts. Then work through the Let’s Learn section together. Hannah buys 3 bottles of apple juice for the party but she doesn’t know how to find the total amount. How could she find it? Find the answer using repeated addition and ask pupils if this is the most efficient method.
Then model partitioning and multiplication of the pounds and pence separately, and add the products together. Ask them to discuss each method and perhaps find out which they would feel most comfortable using. Display Let’s Learn 2. Allow pupils time to discuss and calculate solutions on mini whiteboards before asking for the answer. Pupils need to calculate the costs of the nuts and crisps separately using multiplication before adding the products to find the total.
In pairs, ask pupils to work on the questions in Let’s Learn 4 using mini whiteboards. Then invite a volunteer to model the calculation while the teacher agrees and records problem-solving steps on a flipchart for use during Guided Practice.
During Guided Practice, pupils are calculating amounts of money using addition, subtraction and multiplication.
