Money: Buying train tickets worksheets
This set of worksheets looks at the cost of getting to the seaside! A chart of train fares is shown and questions are asked about the cost of various groups going on journeys. Children may well have not come across a chart like this before and may need help showing how it works.
Much of the work in Year 2 is to do with pounds rather than just pence. There are several ways of working out the answers and it can be a good idea to jot down the costs, especially where the final answer requires more than one process. For example: How much change would I get from £10 if I bought two single child tickets? This requires an addition, followed by a subtraction. The subtraction part can be done by counting on. (Just as our change used to be given to us many years ago!)
