Game teaching guide

What children will practise

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions - Three items at 85 baht: 255 baht - 1,000 baht minus 640 spent: 360 left - Saving 250 baht a month for 6 months: 1500 baht - Two items at 480 baht paid with 1,000: 40 change - 900 baht shared between 4 people: 225 each

How to use it in class

Use in a word-problem lesson or a budgeting activity, 8-10 minutes, team mode; teams write a number sentence before answering. - Afterwards, have each team plan a month's snack money using the 60-baht-a-day item - 900 ÷ 4 does not give a round number; have teams do the long division on paper - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- Choosing 350 or 370 for 1,000 - 640 after slipping while borrowing across three zeros. Count up from 640 to 700, then to 1,000 - For two items at 480 baht, stopping at 960 and guessing, or choosing 60 from a subtraction slip - Choosing 215 or 235 for 900 ÷ 4 after a slip bringing digits down.
