Maths

This week, class VW have been learning about formal methods of addition and subtraction with decimals. 
To contextualise their learning, Miss. Whipps set the class a challenge:  to spend a fictitious budget of money in order to purchase items for the school. 
Children had to keep a running total of how much they had spent, taking care to set out their workings methodically. 
They could not purchase more than one of each item and had to purchase a minimum number of items. The children needed to spend as close to the budget as possible but not a penny over!
