⭐ - 1 Star Challenge:
We will be taking the time to learn and recognize Brunei coins and dollars this week!
You must have seen your parents or grandparents use dollars and coins when they spend money at the restaurant and grocery shops. Let's spend some time closely looking at Brunei coins today.
Can you collect and have a look at some coins and dollars?
Remember these coins and dollars are used only in Brunei. When you go to another country, you need to use money that is used in the specific country which will look quite different from these.
When you look closely, you will see some numbers on coins and dollars. What do you think these mean? What else do you see?
B$1
B$5
B$10
⭐⭐ - 2 Star Challenge:
As you may have noticed, there are five types of cents (English) sen (Malay) in Brunei coins. There are 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents in Brunei coins.
Let's play a coin game today. You will need some 1, 5, 10 cents to play this game.
Notice that there are only 1, 5, 10 cents not 3, 7, or 11 cents.
How shall we make these cents using 1, 5, 10 cents we have in Brunei?
Have a look at the video to get an idea of how to play this game:
Spend some time using the coins and find different combinations! 😊
It can be a bit challenging so take your time and choose numbers below 15. Have fun!
