Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. A single coin can represent the same amount as several one pennies.
  2. The value of a ten-pence coin is not related to its size, shape, colour or quantity.
  3. A ten-pence coin has a value of ten pence or 10 p.
  4. The value of a ten-pence coin is equal to the value of ten one-pence coins.
  5. We can represent a ten-pence coin as a ten-spot token.

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.

  • Worth - Worth refers to the value that something has. In the context of money, it refers to how much money you would pay for something.

Common misconception

Children may think that larger coins or a greater number of coins represents a larger value.

Use pre-money tokens to draw attention to the value of the 10 p coin. When comparing 1 p and 10 p coins, ensure children swap coins for equivalent amounts to draw attention to the value of the coins as opposed to their size or quantity.

Ensure children have plenty of opportunities to explore real coins, as well toy money, as part of the activities within lessons and outside of them. Take care when showing pre-money tokens alongside both heads and tails faces of coins - make clear pre-money tokens each represent just one coin.
