Abstract: In this applied maths quiz, some children set out to complete their toy zoo. While out shopping they encounter numerous arithmetical problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of currency units. This helps your child gain the independence required to manage their own pocket money. Currencies used in the module are dollars, pounds and euros. The module includes many puzzles, involving sums of money up to about 20 to 30 dollars, euros and pounds, including calculation with cents and pence to practice ability with decimals. Fractions are briefly touched on in one puzzle. At a technical level, this module demonstrates the use of user-defined scripts to create mathematical puzzles. The Qedoc Quiz Maker allows any mathematics teacher to write their own little programmes to generate the numbers required for advanced mathematical puzzles.
