Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Coins have a value which is independent of their size, shape, colour or mass.
- There are one-penny coins, two-pence coins, five-pence coins and ten-pence coins.
Common misconception
That the size of the coin indicates its value and that the more coins you have, the more money you have, with pupils ignoring the value of the coins.
Spend time looking at the coins and recognising the numbers on them. Use pre-money tokens used in the Y1 money maths lessons to secure understanding that one coin can represent multiple pennies.
