This Australian money investigation is designed to provide you and your students with a fun and interactive way to practice maths skills using Australian notes and coins. The pack is made up of 8 Australian money word problems for students to solve. Each answer is recorded on the top of the next question to complete.
Problems vary and focus on addition skills using money, finding change (subtraction) and recognising equivalent values in Australian notes and coins. Problems have been carefully created to meet ACARA standards and will build proficiency, fluency and confidence when working with money.
How this Pack Works:
1. Introduce the investigation to your students (set the stage to engage).
2. Display each of the 8 problem cards around your classroom + give each student a recording sheet.
3. Allocate students to a problem to begin working on (it does not matter where students begin because the scavenger hunt/investigation is set up in a loop.
4. Students work on each problem by reading/solving it. They look for the answer to the question by looking at the note and coin combinations on the top of the next card. When they find the one that matches the answer they are looking for, they begin working on the new problem underneath (if they cannot find the answer, this indicated to the student they have made a mistake and need to attempt the problem again.)
No further teacher prep needed, simply print and use!
What is included:
- Teacher Differentiation Ideas
- Investigation - set the stage to engage (see preview)
- 8 self checking word problems
- Recording sheet
- Challenge task
- Answer guides

Thank you. This was a great resource for practicing money skills.
My students enjoyed this resource and worked well figuring out the problems. It was an engaging resource in the classroom for teaching Australian Money which included "buying" goods and getting change.
We used this as a sort around the room, used the challenge as well. It engaged the students I had groups of independent workers as well as small groups.
This was such a fantastic task! My students were thoroughly engaged. They also learned the hard way the importance of showing your working out which was needed for the Challenge page! Thank you!!!!
We did rotations and the students were very engaged

Excited to use thanks
Thanks for your feedback!
My class absolutely LOVED this activity. They were highly engaged and determined to complete their 'shopping trip'. Being self correcting made it easy for me to stay with a group that were needing help and not hear my name over and over. I'm so glad I purchased the Year 4 resource too, you should've heard the squeals of delight when my class found out they were doing that one the next day.
Awwww! So happy to hear the class enjoyed the scavenger hunt. Thanks for your feedback!
Such a great resource! Used it with my Year 3's and they were so engaged and even disappointed when the bell went for lunch!
That is the best when the students are so engaged in learning. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback Jordan!
