Marvelous Maths

Well done everyone who had a go at answering the money problems yesterday - excellent work!
Today I have been looking in my purse and I've found lots of copper coins.
How much money do I have?
Write out the number sentence to show me how you worked it out.
Did you count in 2s to help you?
How else could you make this same amount using different coins?
For an EXTRA challenge have a go at solving this problem.
Write your answers in the comments box below.

  1. Hi Mrs Binnie,
    For the money in your purse I counted
    15 2ps and
    10 1ps so
    15 x 2 = 30
    10 x 1 = 10
    so you have 40p in total

    other ways to make 40p are:
    20p, 20p or
    10p, 10p, 10p, 5p, 5p or
    20p, 10p, 10p

    Extra challenge:
    Theo has 79p in his piggy bank
    Theo could buy just the drink or he could buy a lolly, apple and crisps

  3. Zayd’s answers
    15 x 2p
    10 x 1p
    Total is 40p
    You could also make 40p using 4 x 10ps or 2 x 20ps

  4. Mrs Binnie i have counted the money from your purse and were there 40p. 15 coins for 2p and 10 coins for 1p.
    15x2=30
    10x1=10

    Yes i did.
    The other way to make 40p is that
    20+10+5+2+2+1=40

    He used the money to pay for a piece of cake 89p.

    Theo could bought an apple 10+5+2+1=18p
    crisp 20+5=25p

    I counted all the 2ps and this gave me 30
    I then added all the 1 ps and this gave me 10
    I added the 30 and 10 together and got 40 pence.
