Money Master

20’ Use a resource www.mathsisfun.com/money/money-master.html in order to choose the four captains (colors) and the rest of the participants in each group. Firstly use the difficult option (give change). Show on the digital whiteboard costumer gives £20.00 and item costs £19.26 and they have to think of the correct answer and raise hand. When the answer is correct, the boy/girl goes to the whiteboard and chose for the right coins. Then we have the first captain (color red). Do it three more times. Then use a simpler option that it is say a total £2.94, one person goes to the whiteboard and chose the right coins and check it. If it is correct he/she chooses with what captain wants to play until everybody has a group.

Once there, practice a typical dialogue in the shop. Pay for the item and chose another item to go on buying. At the end of the game the group who has more items in the basket is the winner.

Personal notes/reminders/homework/other considerations:This is a lesson plan thought to put into practice with half of the group because when you play with one board game it is necessary that everybody can see clearly, can have opportunities to have some task and participate in some way (rolling and throwing the dice, giving and exchanging the money, controlling the food cards, moving the counter, etc); and also before playing the game when they have to participate in the money master game online.

REFLECTING ON MY OWN PROJECT

After implementing this lesson plan with four different groups of more or less 11 pupils in each, I can say some aspects to bear in mind.Firstly, I should say that they considered this activity very interesting and motivating. They amused during the class and they could practise in a more real context some of the expressions and structures that they had already learnt.They worked in groups and they hadn’t any problems when they had to talk about the tasks. They knew how to organize because everyone had the opportunity to do something and every member of the group could throw the dice, count the squares, give money back, ask the banker for more money, take a new card, etc. That’s why I choose to implement this lesson plan with half group and not all the class. I like a lot this board game because there are many tasks so I can be sure that everybody can do something and participate in some way.

REFLECTING ON MY OWN PROJECTThis is the reason because I try to play every year at least once in the course with the pupils in 4th grade. But I remember last year that in some occasions when it was raining and they couldn’t go to the playground and they had to stay in class playing games they asked me to play this board game.I realised when they were doing the quiz (money master) that some pupils who are very good at maths and they are not so good at English they normally aren’t captains of the groups because their level of English is lower but that day they were very happy and they felt very important because they guessed the answer very quick and they had to make an effort to say the numbers in English because they knew the result.This is a lesson plan that I had programmed when they finish unit 2 but this year that I have added this first activity “money master” and as I realised that they liked it a lot, I will do it with this modification the next years.
