Count the amount of money.
We’re shown three different
Egyptian notes. We have to work out the value of
each note and add them together to find the total amount of money shown. Our first note has the number 10
written on it. It also says 10 pounds in
words. This is a 10-pound note. We’ve got a 20-pound note and a
five-pound note. We could add the value of these
notes using our number line. Let’s start with the note which has
the highest value. Which is worth more, a 10-pound
note, a 20-pound note, or a five-pound note? We know that 20 is worth more than
10, and 20 is worth more than five. Let’s start by counting forward
20.
Our 10-pound note is now the note
with the highest value because 10 is worth more than five. Now we can add our 10-pound
note. What’s 10 more than 20? It’s 30. So far, we’ve counted 30
pounds. Now we just need to add our
five-pound note. Five more than 30 is 35. The total amount of money shown is
35 pounds.
