Year Two: Money

This educational resource aims to help children develop their understanding of coin values and practice addition and subtraction skills up to 100 by using play money and value cards. The activities focus on identifying coin values, combining coins to match specific amounts, and determining how much more is needed to reach £1.

This resource from Hands-OnEducation.com provides activities to help children understand the value of coins and practice addition and subtraction. The activities are designed to support children in "identifying the value of coins by combining different coins to make a specific amount." The resource utilizes "Value Cards" showing different amounts of money up to £1, which are printed on card stock for sturdiness. Play money is also required "to support your child in identifying the value of coins and as a visual tool in adding amounts together." The first activity focuses on identifying coin values, starting with cards showing 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, and 100p, and having the child present the corresponding coin. The second activity involves addition, where children use a combination of coins to match the value on the cards, starting with amounts of 10p and less, using 1p, 2p, 5p, and 10p coins. "Different combinations of coins can be used to reach the same total." As the child progresses, the activity can be repeated with Value Cards up to 20p and then up to 100p. A final activity focuses on making £1, where children are presented with a Value Card and asked to determine how much more is needed to reach 100p or £1. For example, "in the example of having a Value Card of 37p, support your child in identifying the number of pennies they need to reach the nearest ten." The resource concludes with discussion questions, such as "How did you use the coins to help you make the total on the Value Card?" and "Which strategies were most useful?"

This lesson plan and activity sheet(s) provides a hands-on activity for children to learn about coins, their shapes, values, and how to combine them to reach specific amounts. It aims to reinforce addition and subtraction skills while familiarizing children with different coin characteristics.

This educational resource, "Coin Rubbing," is designed to help children recognize the different shapes and metallic compositions of coins while practising addition and subtraction to reach specific values. The activity aligns with curriculum goals such as recalling and using addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, deriving related facts up to 100, and adding/subtracting numbers using concrete objects and pictorial representations. It also covers recognizing and using symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p) and combining amounts to make a particular value. The activity involves using a "Coin Rubbing Activity Sheet," wax crayons, and play money. The process begins by discussing the shapes of different coins, including questions like "Which coin is the largest? Which coin is the smallest? Does the largest coin have the highest value? What are the different shapes of the coins? Which different metals are the coins made from?". Children then practice coin rubbing by placing a coin under paper and rubbing the side of a wax crayon over it to reveal an imprint. The core activity involves using the "Coin Rubbing Activity Sheet" to show the correct value of money presented in each purse image by rubbing over the corresponding coins, encouraging strategies for adding different amounts together. The resource suggests considering the place value of each digit when making a number, such as breaking down 46p into 40p and 6p. It also emphasizes that there are multiple ways to make the same total value using different coins, challenging children to find alternative combinations. The activity concludes with a discussion about the coins' appearance (copper plated or silver), shapes, and the methods used to add them together, prompting reflection on alternative coin combinations.

This lesson plan and activity sheet(s) provides a hands-on activity for children to practice addition and subtraction skills, particularly adding tens and calculating change, using a car wash role-playing scenario. The activity aims to reinforce mathematical concepts in a practical context involving money.

This educational resource, "Hands-OnEducation.com," presents a car wash activity designed to help children develop their addition and subtraction skills. The activity focuses on adding 10p or 20p to two-digit numbers and calculating change from £1. The curriculum links to Ma2/2.2c, which involves adding and subtracting numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and mentally, including a two-digit number and 10s, and Ma2/3.1e, which focuses on solving simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change. To prepare, a "car wash" needs to be set up with a tray of water, a sponge, play money, toy cars, and sticky notes to label the price of each car (under £1). The activity begins by introducing the car wash and explaining that the cost is 10p more than the labelled price. Children choose a car, calculate the total cost, and pay with play money before washing the car. A variation involves two car washes, one costing 10p more and the other 20p more, allowing children to choose and record their calculations on a provided activity sheet. Finally, the activity introduces the concept of giving change from £1, suggesting strategies like "counting on" or "subtracting" to determine the correct change. The resource encourages discussion with the child, prompting them to explain their calculations and the reasoning behind their answers, such as "How much was the car?" and "How did you calculate the change needed from £1?".

This lesson plan and activity sheet(s) provides a hands-on activity for children to learn about comparing amounts of money using greater than, less than, and equal to signs. It emphasizes practical application with play money and a printable activity sheet to reinforce understanding of coin values and comparison symbols.

This educational resource from Hands-OnEducation.com aims to help children recognize place value in two-digit numbers, compare and order numbers up to 100, and recognize and use symbols for pounds and pence. The core activity involves comparing amounts of money using the >, <, and=signs. "Money is a great way to familiarise children with the shape and colour of different coins," and to develop their understanding of coin values. The activity requires a "Comparing Amounts of Money Activity Sheet" and play money. The activity sheet provides a template for placing different amounts of coins and includes cut-out comparison symbols. The suggested approach involves introducing the symbols, providing coins, and inviting the child to create two groups of coins on the activity sheet. "Support your child in counting and adding the coins in each group." The child then places the correct symbol between the groups to indicate which has more or less money. The activity sheet includes a table for recording comparisons, such as "20p > 18p." Discussion points include asking the child, "How did you add the coins together?" and "What do the different comparison symbols mean?" The document emphasizes that "Repetition is a key part of understanding maths skills" and suggests using different coins to maintain engagement and challenge. The goal is to build confidence in maths skills through hands-on practice.
