Shop and Make

I am learning about different Australian coin values to purchase from my shop.

I know I can do it when I can show different Australian coin values to purchase an item from my shop.

Today you will be using everything you have learnt about Australian coins this week to buy some items at your shop. 

Independent Task

Using items from around your house, create a shop with 5 items to sell.

Example: $2 cornflakes, 50c Ooshies, $1 book.

Each item must have a price tag with the value of 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 or $2.

Draw a picture of your 5 items and label the amount next to each.

You will be ‘buying’ each of your 5 items. Explore at least two different ways you can make the total amount to purchase that item.

Show these next to your shopping item by drawing, writing or taking a photo.

For example:

The total of this item is $2, I could purchase this item using two $1 coins or four 50c coins.

A bank is a place that looks after people’s money and keeps it safe.

People at the bank need to know how to count money to make sure that they can give money back to the customers.  

Independent Task

I will be depositing a small amount of money into my bank account.

You will need to count the money I have given and tell me the total amount that I have deposited.

Ordering Australian Coins

I am learning to order Australian coins according to their value.

I know I can do it when I can order the value of Australian coins from lowest to highest and from highest to lowest.

Watch the following video to learn a little bit more about the features and characteristics of each Australian coin:

Using your knowledge of the coins that you have learnt so far, you will be having a go at ordering them based on value. Things you may need to think about:

Does the size of the coin relate to how much it is worth? Is the biggest coin worth the most?

Are the gold or silver coins worth more?

Do the numbers on the coin give me clues?

Independent Task

Make sure you have one of each coin (can be a paper coin).

Please see below for a template of paper coins you can print:

coins-sheetDownload

Order the coins in ascending order, from the lowest to the highest amount in value.

Now, order the coins in descending order, from highest to lowest amount in value.

Take a photo of your value ordering OR trace around each coin to show the order you have created.

Challenge

Can you write the order of the coins from lowest to highest and then highest to lowest by simply writing their value, for example $2, 50c etc.

*Try and remember the symbols used to represent cents and dollars and whether they sit before or after the number.

Today’s task will have you exploring and recognising Australian coins based on their size and shape.

Independent Task

You need to investigate and compare the shape and size of each Australian coin, by tracing around the edge of a coin.

Categorise each coin by colouring it in, in either silver/grey or yellow/gold).

What do you notice about the size?

Does a coin size have anything to do with their value?

I know I can do it when I can identify the features of Australian coins, including the animal and number.

Throughout the week you are going to learn more about the value of each of the Australian coins and how much they are worth.

Today our focus is on identifying the features of each of the coins and what makes them different from one another.

Watch the following video to learn more about Australian coins:

Independent Task

You will need a few Australian coins, a piece of paper and a crayon or pencil.

Place a variety of coins under a piece of paper. Using your pencil/crayon, shade the surface of the coin.

With a family member, discuss the key features of each design that appears in the coin rubbings.

What Australian animals can you see? Write the type of animal you see next to each coin rubbing.

Write a sentence detailing which of the coins is your favourite and why? For example: 

My favourite coin is the 20c coin because it is big and I like platypuses OR My favourite coin is the $2 coin because it is worth the most and I could buy more things with it.
