It is more efficient to pay for items using fewer coins.
When making a given value, it is more efficient to use coins or notes with a greater value when you can.

Children may not be familiar with the concept of 'getting change' and think they can only buy something when they have the exact amount of money.

Explain the concept of 'getting change' - where we pay too much and get some money back. There are some examples of this in the lesson.

Coin - A coin is a small flat piece of metal used as money.
Note - A note or banknote is a piece of paper money.
Value - The value of something is how much it is worth in money or other things for which it can be exchanged.
Total - The amount or number after everyting is counted or added together.
