You Know What They Say…

Money talks! 🤑 

To play Money BINGO, students will listen for total values (£8.50, for example) and identify them on their board (if they have it) by the correct combination of coins and notes. All students get the middle square for ‘free’ which they can cover straight away. Players need a complete horizontal row to win.

Through this money activity, students will show they can use visual examples of money to represent decimals in the tenths and hundredths places. 

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource for students to play in your maths group or as a whole class to wrap up your discussion on British money. 

Extend gameplay past 5-in-a-row by introducing alternate forms of BINGO like:

• four corners
• t-shape
• blackout
• x-out.

Additionally, enjoy these resource alternatives that allow you to get even more out of your download! 

🧑‍🏫 Match Me If You Can

In your small group, give each student three calling cards that only they can see. Use a single BINGO card to go through each value, discussing the total sum represented in the square and the specific coins and notes. The student who has the calling card for the value lays it face up in front of them. The first person to have all their cards face up wins.

🃏 Upcycle into Playing Cards

Print two sets of calling cards for students to play games like Match It, War, Go Fish, or Snap (to name a few).
