Play Money Resources
Play money is a fun resource for teaching maths that is relevant to our everyday lives. These written resources help bridge the gap between what we know and what we should know, providing games and activities centred on trading money. With this hands-on resource at their disposal, your students will never get bored!
More About Play Money Resources
Among our range of products is the mathematics and money book by Dr Paul Swan and Linda Marshall. This resource covers ‘money milestones’ using different games and activities. The problem-solving money puzzles for years 4-6 book is aimed at slightly older students, covering more specifics about spending money and receiving change.
In the classroom, play notes and coins can be used to set up a pretend shop, encouraging kids to think creatively about selling a product, trading, and the real-life application of maths. These written resources can be used as a guide for students to turn to when setting up shop and working on equations.

This also includes sheets of fruit with an empty slot saying ‘price’ so students can pretend to trade food items.
