The Euro’s Safe
Learn the correspondence between numbers and coins at a glance

WHAT’S INCLUDED
Wall poster to hang up in class or at home so that the children can perceive the correspondence between the number and the coin in an instant, thanks to:
the representation of the hundred composed of cents
the depictions of the coins for practicing how to make the first purchase
intuitive references for fractions and percentages
exercises for recognizing the quantity to carry out indicating the cents
Guide with instructions for teachers and parents on the uses and potential of the poster.
THE ACTIVITIES TO PERFORM WITH THE POSTER
The poster becomes a working tool which substitutes the classic abacus dots with coins that make up the euro. Children, starting from kindergarten, can begin the path of discovery of cents with the possibility to perceive their value as concrete and real items on the poster. The euro’s safe includes game suggestions in which children simulate making purchases by indicating the coins in the closet-safe, integrating this with the tool. It is possible to glue real cents to the poster by using glue or adhesive, and organize a buying and selling market. With the activities proposed with the poster, addition and subtraction are not used, instead focussing simply on quantity identification.
