This week why not buy something in the shop yourself:
- First check the price of the item you are going to buy
- Then check how much money you have - count out all of your coins. Do you have enough?
- Try to calculate what change you should get back.
- Count out your change and check that you have received the correct amount.
If you have a dice at home why not give these dice addition and subtraction games a go.
