Why this why now
This unit introduces 2, 5 and 10 p coins. Pupils explore objects and coins that represent more than one unit. They recognize the value of the coins and use the coins to support skip counting in 2, 10 and 5. This develops their counting and begins to prepare them for ideas of multiplicative thinking in Year 2 and onwards.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Recall number facts and sequences
- Use place value understanding
- Apply basic operations in context
