Concepts

The year 2 work builds on the experiences encountered in year 1. Children

should continue to use real or plastic coins in practical contexts, setting up a

shop, paying and giving change from small amounts e.g. 4p change from 10p.

All coins up to ?1 are introduced during year 2 and children should be able to

give change from amounts up to 20p.

When using the worksheets it is advisable to have real coins or plastic coins to

place over the printed versions so that children can pick up the coins as they

count.

When counting a number of coins it should be emphasised that it is easier to

start with the largest coins and work down to the smallest - this is not

necessarily the way the coins have been set out on paper.

The decimal point is introduced to separate whole pounds from pence and

amounts can be converted from pounds to pence and vice versa.

During more open ended exercises, such as finding all the possible amounts if

three coins out of four are taken, checking for repeat answers should be

encouraged. The children could also be shown how to work in a systematic

way e.g. all the possibilities which have a 2p piece in them etc.
