Coin Conundrums

In our maths lessons this week, 3V are learning all about money matters.  We've been looking at all the different coins and notes to make sure we are familiar with their values.

This morning, we have been looking at all the different combinations of coins that could be used to make up different amounts.  Working together, we found 11 different ways of making 10p using different combinations of coins.

The children's final challenge was to see how many different ways there are to make 85p.  We found over 50 ways, but we think there are probably hundreds of different combinations.  

How many different ways can you find?
