Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician? Comment recorded on the 9 October 'Starter of the Day' page by Mr Jones, Wales: "I think that having a starter of the day helps improve maths in general. My pupils say they love them!!!" Comment recorded on the 18 September 'Starter of the Day' page by Mrs. Peacock, Downe House School and Kennet School: "My year 8's absolutely loved the "Separated Twins" starter. I set it as an optional piece of work for my year 11's over a weekend and one girl came up with 3 independant solutions." |

Coins and Notes - Sharpen your money management skills by recognising and counting current currency coins and notes
Level 1 - Adding amounts of money
Level 2 - Subtracting amounts of money (giving change!)
Level 3 - Multiplying an amount of money by a number
Level 4 - Dividing an amount of money by a number
Level 5 - Finding a percentage of an amount of money
Level 6 - Mixed real-life questions
One of the important aspects of this quiz is typing in the answer in the correct format. When expressing amounts of money it is standard practice to include two decimal places if the answer is not a whole number of the major unit (pounds, dollars etc).
Eg., six point seven pounds would be written as £6.70 and not £6.7
For the purposes of this exercise type in a whole number of pounds without the decimal places.
Eg., twelve pounds should be written as £12 and not £12.00
Also note that the currency units have already been provided for you, you do not need to type them into the answer box
The exercises are generated from random numbers so each time you refresh the page you will get a different set of questions.
Don't wait until you have finished the exercise before you click on the 'Check' button. Click it often as you work through the questions to see if you are answering them correctly.
Answers to this exercise are available lower down this page when you are logged in to your Transum account. If you don’t yet have a Transum subscription one can be very quickly set up if you are a teacher, tutor or parent.
£1.72 + 65p
To perform this addition, first convert 65p to pounds. 65p is £0.65.
So, the calculation is £1.72 + £0.65.
Align the decimal points and add:
\[ \begin{array}{r} 1.72 \\ + 0.65 \\ \hline 2.37 \\ \end{array} \]
Therefore, £1.72 + 65p = £2.37.
£92.51 - £70.74
Align the decimal points and subtract:
\[ \begin{array}{r} 92.51 \\ - 70.74 \\ \hline 21.77 \\ \end{array} \]
Therefore, £92.51 - £70.74 = £21.77.
£7.29 × 5
Multiply each digit of £7.29 by 5:
\[ \begin{array}{r} 7.29 \\ \times 5 \\ \hline 36.45 \\ \end{array} \]
Therefore, £7.29 × 5 = £36.45.
£110.97 ÷ 9
Divide £110.97 by 9:
Perform the division step-by-step just as you do with the bus stop method:
Step 1. 110 ÷ 9 = 12 remainder 2.
Step 2. 29 ÷ 9 = 3 remainder 2.
Step 3. 27 ÷ 9 = 3.
So, £110.97 ÷ 9 = £12.33.
Find 40% of £56.80
First, find 10% (one tenth) of £56.80 = £5.68.
Multiply £5.68 by 4 to find the required 40%:
\[ \text{Alternatively } 56.80 \times 0.40 = 22.72 \]
Therefore, 40% of £56.80 is £22.72.
Sue pays £50 for her shopping. If her shopping costs £27.59, how much change will she receive?
Subtract the cost from the amount paid:
\[ 50.00 - 27.59 = 22.41 \]
Therefore, Sue will receive £22.41 in change.
