About Time
Three activities to develop the concept of time. Time passing supports the discussion of the passage of time during a day. Change the clock to see events such as the school bus arriving in the morning and the children playing at break.
Till We Meet Again
Play the shopkeeper as you practice giving change for items costing from 20p to £10. Three options give varying levels of support on the till screen. Price + Change shows the cost of the item as well as how much change to give.
Supermarket
A shopping simulation where users can choose items, round prices and pay with notes and coins. We are grateful for grants to develop Supermarket from: The Robertson Trust, The Agnes Hunter Trust and Charity Begins at Home (Kelso).
