The shopping price mistakes are a great real world maths challenge for children so I have created a Powerpoint / pdf of the price fails featured on this shed, plus an Aldi 'How much do you save' section too.

Andrex Puppies Toilet Roll Problems.

The lovely Theresa Young (@treezyoung) shared this lovely Prezi with me. It is a problem we have all had, do you buy a couple of the smaller packs of toilet rolls or is buying the larger pack going to save you money. Lots of skills involved here.

The Cheque Writing, Shopping Challenge.

Writing numbers in numerals and words
I know cheques will soon be obsolete but they are a great way of teaching writing in numerals and words. We are concentrating on that in year 3 this week so here are some resources I have made for a challenge.
Children are allowed to buy ten items from the catalogue ( real catalogues could be used but I didn't have any so created the pdf below) and for them to receive the items (not real) they must write out cheques for each item. For higher ability groups fewer cheques could be given so that they also have to add items together and make cheques for the totals.You could also introduce a limit on the amount available to spend, but ten items still have to be bought. Super hero cheques (link) are available and  other themes are at the bottom of this page. Please let me know if you use any of these resources - always great to get feedback.

Is It A Bargain?

Inspired by a post on Twitter by @MrsOclee showing supermarket bargains and which is the best value, I decided to open this shed. It will be full of shop related maths, working out which item is the best value, is the deal a bargain or what mistake has the shop made. Enjoy.
Shops have many deals and offers on, but are they always a bargain, take a look at these pictures and decide if they are or not.

Multibuy Deals

Often shops to multibuy deals, can you work out how much each item would cost individually (Clue: you may need to use division :-))

The Numbervator - The Shopping Mall Starters.

Shopping Change Challenge

Our presenter goes shopping and asks how much change he will get from £5.00

Fractions Out Shopping.

This Key Stage 2 maths lesson starter uses supermarkets and packaging as a starting point to look at fractions, decimals and percentages.

Set in a supermarket, the video looks at the fractions and decimals on the packaging of every day products and asks the pupils to discuss what they mean.

The next 3 PDFs are part of a shopping challenge. The children have a £50.00 budget and a list of things to buy. My more able Year 3 children loved doing this activity.

Themed Cheques.

Inspired by a chat on Twitter where another teacher suggested using cheques to make writing numbers in digits and words more interesting and give it real life context. I have made some themed cheques based on popular characters (there are Superhero cheques in Popular Culture Shed 3). If there are any cheques you would like made for a specific theme please email me [email protected] or tweet @grahamandre and I will gladly make them.
