Market Day

What your child learns

• Recognizing note values: $1, $2, $5 and $10
• Adding up to pay an exact price up to $20
• Making an amount from different notes ($5 + $2 = $7)
• Comparing amounts: which purse has enough money

How to play

1. Listen to the price and look at the price tag.
2. Drag notes from the wallet into the tray, or just tap a note.
3. The tray shows how much you have paid; tap the tray to take back the last note.
4. Pay the exact price to buy the item. Pay too much and the last note goes back to the wallet.

For parents

• The first few levels use only $1 notes so your child can count one by one; $2, $5 and $10 notes come later.
• Each note has a row of dots equal to its value, to help with counting before mental addition.
• The money is colorful play money, not a copy of real banknotes.
• Afterwards, let your child pay at a real shop with you.
