Hook (5 min)
- Ask the class: Why do grown-ups go to work?
- Take two or three answers and write them where everyone can see them.
Teach (10 min)
- Say the big idea in one plain sentence: jobs, shops and coins.
- Show one example, then one that is not an example, and ask how the two differ.
- Have students tell a partner the idea in their own words.
Practise (15 min)

- Print: Counting coins (https://teach.peabody.kids/worksheets/math/counting-coins)
Exit ticket (5 min)
- On a slip or aloud: one thing I learned about jobs, shops and coins, and one question I still have.
- Sort the slips into: got it, nearly, not yet. Start tomorrow with the last pile.
