Henry’s Market Change: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

change: Money returned when you pay more than the price.
price: The amount something costs.
difference: How much more or less one amount is than another.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, what the characters tried and how they checked. Use play money and a number line from 13 to 20. Show a jump of 2, then 5. Combine them as 7 and check that 13 plus 7 is 20.
