Mental Money In P5

21st Apr 2026

Primary 5 have really enjoyed their new topic of ‘Money’. They applied their ‘Rounding and Adjusting’ skills to calculate change from £5 and £10. Mr Smyth was very impressed with the children’s mental maths skills and has challenged them to apply this on their next shopping trip. The boys and girls are really looking forward to their budget spending task.
