The story behind it

Every exchange in chess is a small deal: I give you this, you give me that. Strong players do the sum before they trade, the way a careful shopper checks the bill. Coins make the idea easy to see.

How to play

  1. Pawn 1 coin · knight 3 · bishop 3 · rook 5 · queen 9.
  2. In the shop, buy the right number of pieces for exactly the coins you have.
  3. At the trade desk, decide if a swap is good, fair or bad for you.

What it teaches

Working within a budget, exact totals, and judging whether an exchange is fair.

The story to tell first

Every exchange in chess is a small deal: I give you this, you give me that. Strong players do the sum before they trade, the way a careful shopper checks the bill. Coins make the idea easy to see.

Three questions to ask

  • Was there more than one way to spend exactly those coins?
  • Buying the queen left you no coins for anything else. What did you give up?
  • When might a “bad” trade on points still be the right move?

Without a screen

Price five classroom objects in tokens. Pupils must buy exactly three objects with exactly twelve tokens.
