Keywords
Ten-pence coin - A ten-pence coin is a unit of money used in the UK. It has the same value as ten one-pence coins.

Value - Where referring to money, value refers to how much something is worth.
Tens - Another name for the multiples of ten, or the decade numbers.
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.
