Mathematics activities with an Asia focus aligned to the Australian Curriculum

YEAR 1 Mathematics

Show me your money This set of activities focuses on developing student familiarity with currency from Australia and a range of countries from the Asia region. The activities support the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics: Money and financial mathematics ACMNA017. Students are introduced to Australian coins and notes and the currencies of other countries. They see that countries from the Asia region have different coins and names for the money units. The activities and games provide opportunities for students to become familiar with Australian notes and coins and see that there are different ways to ʻmakeʼ amounts of equal value.

• showing that coins are different in other countries by comparing Asian coins to Australian coins

Associated learning Students will begin to recognise and develop familiarity with Australian currency, and that other countries have different currencies. The activities aim to assist students to:

• recognise and say the names and values of the Australian coins and notes • make the association between the names various coins and notes and the

numbers on them • become familiar with the shape and relative size of coins • create equivalent amounts of money in a variety of ways.

The difficulty levels of many of the activities may be adjusted to cater for different ability levels and to be used beyond Year 1. These activities can be linked with the unit Counting Games. Extension opportunities in the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics Year 2 Money and financial mathematics Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value (ACMNA034)

Activity preparation These activities require Australian coins or replicas. Plastic coin collections and reusable coin stamps are commercially available. Alternatively, teachers may choose to make their own models and display charts using the accompanying copy masters. A small collection of coins from Japan, Singapore and other countries from the Asia region would be useful for display purposes. If your school teaches an Asian language, it would be useful to display some coins from the countries where the language is spoken. These can be purchased from currency exchange desks at banks, shopping centres and international airports.

Activity guide Activity 1 Money memory These activities provide a variety of ways for children to recognise and say the names and values of Australian, Japanese and Singaporean coins. The aim of the game is to match the image of the coin with a written symbolic value. 1.1 Money Memory: Australian coins • Divide the students into pairs. Each pair

receives a set of 12 cards. • All the cards are placed face down. • Students take turns to turn two cards over

looking for matching pairs. • When a matching pair is successfully

identified it is set aside and the student has another turn.

• If unsuccessful, the cards from that round are replaced face down and the second student has their turn.

• The game finishes when all cards are paired. • The student with the most correct pairs of

cards wins, if this game is being played competitively.

Variations As each card is turned over, the student could say the amount shown.

What does a 50c coin look like?

Is the coin with the lyrebird on it

a 10c coin?



1.2 Money Memory: Japanese coins

The Money Memory game is played the same way as in Activity 1.1, using the images of the Japanese coins and amounts in Yen (¥).

1.3 Money Memory: Singaporean coins The Money Memory game is played the same way as in Activity 1.1 using images of the amounts in dollars and cents.

Variations

Some students in the class may have access to the currency of other countries. Make a set of Money Memory cards representing these currencies as well.

I wonder why some Japanese coins have holes?



Activity 2 – Coin dominoes These activities can be played individually or in pairs. Play Individually – The student makes a continuous ʻsnakeʼ by placing matching tiles at either end of row of tiles. They may undo turns in order to place all tiles. In pairs – Students share all the tiles and take it in turns to make a continuous ʻsnakeʼ by placing matching tiles at either end of the row of tiles. The name of the matching tile is said while it is being placed. Students miss a turn if no tile can be placed at any time. If this game is being played competitively, the winner is the student who places all of their tiles first. 2.1 Australian coin dominoes Students play the game with 28 double tiles using images of Australian coins. Copy masters 4.1 & 4.2 2.2 Japanese coin dominoes

In this game, students use 28 double tiles showing images depicting Japanese coins. Copy masters 5.1 & 5.2

Do you think these tiles match?



Activity 3 – Money dice In this activity, students are given a dice or wooden block with amounts of money written on each of the six sides. A selection of coins and notes, or their replicas are held in a ʻbankʼ. This activity can be played with Australian or Japanese currency, in pairs or a larger group.

How to play

• Roll the dice and say the amount. • All players have to make the amount

using coins or notes from the bank. • Repeat the process until all of the

bankʼs money is used and the activity is finished.

Variations Use amounts on the dice that require more coins to be used. Set a challenge! Ask students to use as few coins as they can to make the amounts. Roll two dice and get students to make up the combined amount with coins or notes. Have one dice with dollar amounts and one with cents. Write yen amounts on the dice and make the amount using Japanese coins.

Activity 4 – Match my money This activity gives students the opportunity to recognise the value of Australian coins and notes and make equivalent amounts of money in different ways. It can be played at a basic level, for example, one player placing two 10c coins and another placing a 20c coin. At higher levels notes and coins can be used and the second player has to place the minimum number of notes and coins to match the value. How to play the game

• The first player places an amount of money in one box.

• The second player must say the amount - “Thatʼs two dollars sixty” - and place a matching amount but not using an identical set of coins in the other box.

Variations

Set a challenge! Introduce the reverse side of the Australian notes into the game. Use Japanese yen to play the Match my money game. Bring other currencies from home and see if you can play the game with these coins and notes.

How many 50 yen coins do I need to

equal a 500 yen coin?
