Financial Mathematics in IB MYP Grade 1 Mathematics
In IB MYP Grade 1 Mathematics, Financial Mathematics gives foundational learners (ages 11–12) the chance to practise understanding coins and simple money values and adding and comparing amounts of money.
MYP Mathematics is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating patterns, C: communicating and D: applying mathematics in real-world contexts). Regular practice with financial mathematics builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Understanding coins and simple money values
- Adding and comparing amounts of money
For students
Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For revision
Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.
For teachers
Use financial mathematics activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Little and often beats cramming: ten focused questions a day will build more fluency than one long session at the weekend.
