Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Display the Ghanaian cedi (coins and notes) currently being used for transaction in Ghana and initiate discussion on the need for monetary transaction. Learners touch feel and say the features of each coin
E.g. 2. Introduce the notes (i.e. 1 cedi, 2 cedis, 5 cedis 10 cedis etc.) in turns and have learners examine and talk about its features
E.g. 3. State the relationship between 2 and 10; 5 and 10; 2 and 20; 5 and 20, 10 and 50

 E.g. 3 prefixes each figure with the cedi sign; the text layer drops the symbol, so the figures are written here as bare numbers.
