How much money is there in
total?
We have to work out the total
amount of money shown. We’re shown some notes and some
coins. The notes are all the same. Do you know how much each note is
worth? Each note is worth five pounds. To work out how much three
five-pound notes are worth, we could start at zero and count forward in fives. And we would need to count forward
in fives three times because there are three five-pound notes. Five, 10, 15.
Now, we just need to count our
coins. Do you know what each coin is
worth? It’s one pound, so we need to add
our four one-pound coins to the 15 pounds we’ve already counted. We just need to count forward in
ones. 16, 17, 18, 19. The total amount of money shown is
19 pounds.
