The lesson plan and activity sheets are rom Hands-OnEducation.com provides an activity to help children recognize and understand the value of different coins. The activity, designed for young learners, focuses on identifying coins by matching images to their corresponding values and ordering them according to their worth, from smallest to largest. "Your child will identify coins by matching images to their correct value." The required materials include the "Identifying Coins Activity Sheet," play money, scissors, and glue. "It is also useful to have play money available for your child to touch and feel the different coins." The activity begins by allowing the child to handle and examine real or play coins, discussing their similarities and differences in terms of shape, color, and size. "Begin this activity by presenting a variety of coins to your child. Allow them to touch and feel the coins. Discuss the similarities and differences they notice between the different coins. This might include, shape, colour, size." Next, a selection of coins is placed on the table, and the child is asked to identify specific coins. "Invite your child to identify the different coins for example, can you find a 50p coin? A 1p coin?" As the child's confidence grows, more coins are added, and they are asked to identify a specific number of each. "As they become more confident you can add a range of other coins and ask them to identify a specific number of them. For example, can you find three 20p coins?" The "Identifying Coins Activity Sheet" is then used, where the child cuts out images of coins and matches them to their correct value by sticking them alongside. "Support your child in cutting out the images of coins and matching and sticking them alongside the correct value." Finally, the child can cut out the images and arrange them in order of value, from least to greatest. "Your child can also cut out the images and place them in the correct order of value, from least to greatest." The activity concludes with a discussion about how the coins were grouped, how the value of each coin was determined, and which coin is worth the least and the most. "Discuss the activity with your child: How did you group the different coins? How did you know the value of each coin? Think about shape / size / colour. Which coin is worth the least amount? Which coin is worth the most?"

This lesson plan provides a hands-on activity for children to learn about different denominations of coins and notes by grouping them based on value, color, and shape. It aims to help children recognize and identify the value of different coins while developing their classification skills.

The lesson plan and activity sheets are rom Hands-OnEducation.com, copyrighted between 2019 and 20xx, focuses on teaching children to "recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes" and to develop "identifying and classifying" skills. The activity involves grouping coins based on their value, color, and shape. The required resources include a "Money Identification Sheet" and play money, encompassing a variety of coins such as 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, and £2. The Money Identification Sheet provides templates to aid in grouping the coins. The activity begins with the child exploring the coins through touch and feel, prompting discussion around their worth, shape, size ("Which coin is the smallest? Largest?"), and color ("Are they all the same colour? What colours are they?"). Subsequently, the child uses the Money Identification Sheet to group the coins accordingly. The activity concludes with a discussion about the grouping method ("How did you group the coins? By value? Shape? Colour?") and counting the coins in each group to determine which group has the most or least number of coins. The resource outlines the curriculum connection, the learning objectives ("What will my child learn?"), preparation steps, and a concluding hands-on activity.

This lesson plan provides a hands-on educational activity for children to learn about money, addition, and subtraction through role-playing a shop scenario. It outlines how to set up a toy shop, label items with prices, and practice buying items with exact amounts and calculating change.

The lesson plan and activity sheets are designed for hands-on learning, focuses on developing children's money skills through a shop role-play activity. The activity aims to help children "read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words," "represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20," and "recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes." To prepare, create a 'shop' with various toys and objects, labeling them with prices using post-it notes, starting with prices up to 10p and progressing to 20p as the child gains confidence. "Using play money can also be a really useful way to introduce different coins, recognising their different values and adding them together." The Money Number Line is a key resource, supporting children in adding the total cost of two items, encouraging them to "begin with the highest price and count upwards along the money line." For addition practice, children buy items using the exact amount of money, potentially starting with counting individual 1p coins. Subtraction is introduced by having the child pay with a larger denomination (10p or 20p) and calculate the change they should receive. This can be done by "beginning at number 7 and count[ing] the number of coins forward to reach number 10" on the Money Number Line, or by counting backwards from 10 to 7. The activity concludes with a discussion, prompting the child to reflect on the items bought, the money used, and the change received, reinforcing their understanding of money and basic arithmetic.

This lesson plan provides a hands-on activity for children to learn about money and price matching, focusing on adding and subtracting numbers to 20 using coins. It aims to develop their understanding of different coin denominations and how to combine them to pay for items.

This activity, designed by Hands-OnEducation.com, helps children develop their understanding of adding and subtracting numbers to 20 while learning about money. The activity utilizes a "Price Matching Activity Sheet" featuring images of toys with labeled prices, along with play money to represent different coin denominations up to 20p. The curriculum focus is on Ma1/2.2c (add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including 0) and Ma1/3.1c (recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes). "Using a number line your child will develop their understanding of adding and subtracting numbers to 20." The activity begins by having the child identify the different coins, asking questions like "Which coin is worth 5p? 2p?" and prompting them to consider the shape, size, and color of the coins. Next, the child uses the Price Matching Activity Sheet to find the correct coins needed to pay for each toy and draw them on the sheet. "For some of the prices such as 5p, they may need only one coin. For other prices such as 12p, they will need to combine two or more coins together." A tip is provided for children who struggle with combining coins: "begin with the corresponding number of 1p coins." For example, to make 12p, provide twelve 1p coins, then invite the child to group the coins together and swap them for other coins. The activity concludes with a discussion, prompting the child to reflect on how they knew which coins were needed and how they added the coins together.

This lesson plan from Hands-OnEducation.com outlines an activity designed to help children develop addition skills and understand the value of different coins using play money. The activity encourages children to explore different combinations of coins to reach specific target amounts like 10p and 20p.

This activity sheet from Hands-OnEducation.com, designed for children learning to add and subtract numbers up to 20 and recognize the value of coins, utilizes play money to enhance addition skills. The activity requires "play money" and a "Coin Challenge Activity Sheet" to complete various tasks. The core of the activity involves presenting children with different coins and inviting them to identify their value, using pennies to demonstrate equivalencies, such as "two 1p coins are the same value as one 2p coin." The Coin Challenge Activity Sheet provides structured exercises where children use coins to make specific amounts, encouraging a systematic approach to addition. The activities include "Coin challenge – using a 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p, your child can explore different ways to add the coins together," as well as specific challenges like the "10p Challenge – your child can find different ways to make a total of 10p" and the "20p Challenge – your child can find different ways to make a total of 20p." The document suggests discussing the activity with the child, prompting them to reflect on their strategies: "What strategy did you use to add the different coins together?" and "How did you combine the coins to make 10p?" and "How did you combine the coins to make 20p?". The activity aims to support children in counting and adding the value of coins together, using play money as a visual aid.

This lesson plan provides a hands-on activity to help children learn to count in multiples of 2s, 5s, and 10s using coins as a visual aid. The activity aims to develop their understanding of skip counting and its application to recognizing the value of different denominations of coins and notes.

The lesson plan and activity sheets are rom Hands-OnEducation.com focuses on teaching children to count in multiples using coins. The activity aligns with curriculum goals of counting, reading, and writing numbers to 100, and recognizing the value of different coins and notes. The core method involves "skip counting," which is visually supported by using real or play money. The resource suggests starting with counting in 10s, as it can be easier before moving to 5s and 2s. The activity begins by presenting the child with multiple 1p coins and discussing ways to count them efficiently, such as grouping them. "Explain that one group of ten 1p coins is the same as a 10p coin," and encourage the child to place a 10p coin at each interval of ten 1p coins. The resource emphasizes that "an efficient way of counting the coins is by counting in tens instead of ones." The activity then progresses to counting in groups of five and two, using corresponding 5p and 2p coins. The "Money Skip Counting Activity Sheet" is provided for practice in writing numbers using the skip counting method. The resource encourages discussion about patterns in the numbers, noting that "when counting in 10s all the numbers end in 0. When counting in 5s all the numbers end in 0 and 5. When counting in 2s the numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8." The materials needed include skip counting number cards, a money skip counting activity sheet, play money, and a pencil.
