Key learning points

- When you reach the value needed, you must stop counting.
- The number of 10 p coins needed will be less than the value of the item.

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 10 p and 1 p coins are used to reach the same amount to stress the difference in value. Compare sets of 1 p and 10 p coins with sets of 10 p coins drawing attention to the importance of the value of each coin.
