Common misconception
Children may confuse the number of coins with their value, so count in ones, or revert to counting in ones. They may have difficulty counting on to reach a value when some coins are already present.
Present situations where both 2 p and 1 p coins are used to reach the same amount to stress the difference in value. Compare sets of 1 p and 2 p coins with sets of 2 p coins drawing attention to the importance of the value of each coin.
