Outdoor Learning (coin value)+

We utlised the outdoor green space and the available natural resources to practice coin values to create totals. The materials available to us included stones, twigs, flowers and leaves. I gave each of these items a different value (see images) and gave pupils the task of making a set total (i.e. 10p).
The pupils then explored the environment to gather any combination of leaves/twigs/stones/flowers that would create that required total. This familiarises pupils with coin values and also addition of coin values. It reminds them that coin combinations can be varied to achieve the same total value.
You can differentiate this by timing higher ability groups or giving some pupils a lower target value to reach.
