Recognise and explain the value of 2p coins in pence

I can recognise 2 p coins and can understand that one 2 p coin represents a group of two pennies.

Lesson details

Key learning points

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

Common misconception

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

Use pre-money tokens to draw attention to the value of the 2 p coin. When comparing 1 p and 2 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.
