Maths Resources

Bring maths to life and build a deeper understanding of money with our hands-on, curiosity-driven video resource.

Designed for learners aged 7–11, the resource supports pupils in developing and applying their investigative and numeracy skills through the fascinating real-world context of money.

Handling materials included with the free resource make learning more engaging, meaningful and fun by giving pupils real objects to compare, test, measure and explore.

What’s in the lesson?

The video resource guides learners through:

· Different types of money used across the world and through time, encouraging comparison, classification, and estimation.

· Why materials matter, prompting learners to test strength, durability, and other measurable properties.

· A design-your-own-currency challenge. Teachers can post these designs to the Museum, where they are transformed into wearable money badges for pupils to keep
