Key learning points

A one-penny coin has a value which is independent of its size, shape, colour or mass.
A one-penny coin has a value of one pence or 1 p.
We can find the value of a group of 1 p coins by counting in ones.
We can use 1 p coins to make different amounts.

Keywords

Value - Where referring to money, value refers to how much something is worth.
One-penny / one-pence coin - The one-pence / penny coin is the smallest unit of money used in the UK.
Afford - Afford means that you have enough money to pay for something.

Common misconception

Children may not automatically link what they know about additive relationships to money contexts.

Explicitly link known facts and stem sentences to money contexts where appropriate.

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. Encourage children to use dual counting when counting groups of one penny coins, so 1 one penny, 2 one penny, then 1 p, 2 p etc.
