Lesson Details
Key learning points

Common misconception
Children may think that larger coins or a greater number of coins represent a larger value.
Use pre-money tokens to draw attention to the value of the 2 p coin. When comparing 1 p and 2 p coins, ensure children swap coins for equivalent amounts to draw attention to the value of the coins as opposed to their size or quantity.
