Learning objects MoneySmart: Pay the price

TLF ID M015366

This learning object helps students to recognise Australian currency through a supermarket shopping scenario which requires simple transactions. Students match item value with the correct coin and note combinations. The learning object has three different levels working through matching item value to: two single coins, two multiple coin options, selecting combinations of notes and coins. Students practice comparing like items, selecting the cheapest option and then counting collections of coins to make up a particular value shown on the price tag. It comes with parent and teacher notes.
