Lesson video

Hello, my name's Mrs. Cornwell, and I'm going to be working with you today, and we're going to be finding out all about money.

Okay? So I would imagine you already know quite a lot about money because we see it all around us every day, don't we? All different types of coins and notes.

So we're going to find out how we can use money in different ways.

We can use it to pay for items, we can add up how much money we've got.

And so the learning we do today is going to be really useful for us, isn't it? So I'm really looking forward to working with you.

I know you'll work really hard.

So let's get started.

So let's think about what we're going to look at in today's lesson then.

So we're going to order and compare 1 p, 2 p, 5 p, and 10 p coins.

We're going to think about the value of those coins and what they're worth, what you can buy with them.

And we're going to think about a different ways that you can order them.

And compare what you could buy with different amounts of each coin.

Okay? So let's get started.

So our keywords for today are coins, my turn.

Coins, your turn.

And value, my turn.

Value, your turn.

And worth, my turn.

Worth, your turn.

Well done.

Excellent.

(mouse clicks) So in the first part of our lesson today then, we are going to order sets of 1 p, 2 p, 5 p, and 10 p coins.

And Sofia and Jun are going to be in our lesson today.

They're going to be helping us to do that.

So Sofia and Jun have been selling sweets at the summer fair.

They collect some of the coins together, and there they are, look.

Let's see what we already know about each coin that they've collected.

So what's this coin? This is a one p coin.

It has a value of one p.

It is bronze.

That's its colour, isn't it? You can use it to pay for items. Okay, so what about this one? This is a two p coin.

That's right.

It has a value of two p.

Hmm.

Do we know anything else about it? It is bronze in colour as well, isn't it? That's right.

And you can use it to pay for items and you may have come up with some of the things that you know about two p coins as well.

Let's think about this one then.

So this is? That's right.

A five p coin.

It has a value of five p.

It is silver.

So that's colour is different, isn't it? Of the five p, from the one p and the two p.

And you can use it to pay for items. And again, you may have come up with some different things as well.

And this one? That's right.

This is a 10 p coin.

It has a value of 10 p.

It is silver and you can use it to pay for items. And again, you may have thought of different ideas as well.

I've just told you some of the main ones that I thought of.

Perhaps you could collect a set of these coins together and look at what is the same and what is different about them all.

So the children play, Guess my coin, "You can describe a coin," says Jun, "and I'll use the clues to guess which one you were describing." Oh, perhaps you could play this game.

"It is silver," says Sofia, "it is worth the same as five 1 pennies." Oh, do you know which one it is? "It is the five p coin," says Jun, "now it's my turn." Did you spot that one? Okay, so Jun's giving us clues.

"It is bronze.

It is about the same size as a 10 p coin." Oh, so which one could it be, do you think? "It is a two p coin," says Sofia.

That's right.

Did you get that one? Perhaps you could play this game with some friends.

Get some actual coins out and then you could pick one and give some clues about it, couldn't you? So Jun wants to order the coins by size from smallest to largest.

Let's help him.

So which is a smallest coin? Hmm? Sofia spotted it.

"The five p coin is the smallest." And then the one p, that's right.

And then the 10 p.

And finally, "The two p coin is the biggest of all." "I think you can buy more with the two p coin because it's the biggest," says Jun.

What do you think about that? Do you think that's right? Sofia doesn't.

She says, "That can't be right and I can prove it." It's always a good idea to be able to prove what you are thinking, isn't it? "The two p coin is equal to two pennies, but the 10 p coin is equal to 10 pennies." "So the size of the coin does not tell us how much it is worth," does it? Because we could see that the two p wasn't worth as much as the 10 p coin.

(keyboard clacks) This time, let's order the coins by value, how much they're worth.

Starting with the smallest.

Okay, so we're looking for, not the smallest in size but the smallest in value.

I wonder which one that will be.

"Which coin has the smallest value?" Asked Sofia.

Jun knows.

"The one p coin has the smallest value because it's just the same as one penny.

That's right.

"The two p coin has the same value as two pennies." So that must have the next highest value.

And then what will be next, do you think? That's right.

"The five p coin has has the same value as five pennies." And finally, "The 10 p coin has the greatest value because it has the same value as 10 pennies," hasn't it? "How can we prove we are right?" Do you have any ideas? That's right.

We can use our tokens to show their values and how many pennies they represent.

So, well done if you thought of that.

Now, let us order the coins from the greatest to the smallest value.

So we're doing it the other way around.

We're starting with the highest value coin.

So I wonder what that will be? (keyboard clacks) "We need to start with the coin which is worth the most." (keyboard clacks) "The 10 p coin has the greatest value because it is the same as 10 pennies," says Sofia.

And did you notice how she explained how she knew there? That was a really good idea.

So she was proving she was right, wasn't she? "Five p is worth the same as five pennies, so that must be next." So that's the next highest value.

What do you think will be next after that? That's right.

"Two p will be next as that is worth the same as two pennies." And so finally, the lowest value.

"One p will be last as it is only worth one penny, so that is the smallest value." So, well done if you did that as well.

(keyboard clacks) So now, it's time to check your understanding.

Jun wants to order his coins from the smallest to the greatest value.

Which set is ordered correctly? Okay, so have a look at the sets there.

And remember, it's ordering from the smallest to the greatest value.

Okay? So pause the video while you try that.

Okay.

And let's see how you got on.

What did you think? Did you think c? We can see that it's got the one p, which is the same as one penny, isn't it? And then two p represents two pennies.

Five p is five pennies.

And 10 p is 10 pennies.

So we know that we're right.

So, Sofia has a coin in her bag.

It has a greater value than a two p coin, but a smaller value than a 10 p coin.

Hmm.

So greater than a two p coin, but smaller value than a 10 p coin.

I wonder what her coin could be.

(keyboard clacks) What coin could she have? Do you have any ideas? Jun says, "I think it is a seven p coin." Hmm? Do you think that could be right? Sofia's doesn't, does she? She says, "That can't be right." How does she know? (keyboard clacks) Hmm.

"There is not a single coin for every amount," she says.

So there isn't a seven p coin, is there? So it can't possibly be a seven p coin.

The only coins up to 10 p are 1 p, 2 p, 5 p, and 10 p.

So it has to be one of those.

"It must be a five p coin then," says Jun.

So, well done if you thought of that.

The seven p coin doesn't exist, does it? So now it's time to check your understanding of that.

There is a coin hidden in Sofia's bag.

It is worth more than a one p coin, but less than a five p coin.

Which of the following could it be? Okay, could it be three p, two p or four p? Remember, you can use your coins to help you as well, can't you? You'd perhaps predict what you think is right and then check it with the coins.

So pause the video now while you try that.

Okay? And what did you think? That's right was a two p coin, wasn't it? Three p coins and four p coins do not exist.

So it must be a two p coin.

(keyboard clacks) Jun finds some bags of coins and wants to put them in order from the smallest to the greatest value.

Hmm.

So there they are.

Look, we've got a bag of 10 p coins, a bag of five p coins, and a bag of two p coins.

Let's look at each bag to help him.

So first of all, let's look at that bag.

There are (grunts) coins.

Each coin has a value of (grunts).

This is (grunts) p.

So we use now our stem sentences to help us.

There are five coins.

Each coin has a value of 10 p.

So this must be, we count in tens then, don't we? 50 p.

That's right.

Well done.

And then, let's look at the next bag.

So, there are five coins.

This time, each coin has a value of five p.

So this is, this time we count in fives, don't we? So it will be? That's right.

25 p.

And then finally, this last bag there are? That's right, five coins.

Each coin has a value of two p this time.

So we can count it in twos.

That's right.

And so it has a value of? That's right.

10 p.

(tongue clicks) So now, we know the value of each bag.

Let's put them in order.

So which will have the lowest value and which will have the highest value? That's right.

So, the bag of two p coins will come first because five 2 ps will have a lower value than five 5 ps or five 10 ps, won't it? So, well done if you spotted that.

Okay, so here's a task for the first part of our lesson today.

Pick three of the cards provided and put them in order of value from smallest to greatest.

And then draw the bags you chose.

Then pick three different bags and repeat.

Can you predict some of the weights without counting the total value of the coin? So you may be able to think, "Oh, I know the order of those without counting." And then you could count to check and prove you were right, couldn't you? So perhaps, if you don't find that too tricky, you could try and order four bags.

So pause the video now while you try that.

Okay, so let's see how you got on with that.

So, you may have done this.

So, you may have done bags of two p coins, so you may have said, "Five 2 p coins must have a lower value than six 2 p coins, and it also must have a lower value than seven 2 p coins.

So, well done if you did that.

Okay, you may have also chosen 2 ps, 5 ps, and 10 ps and said, "I spotted there were five 2 pence coins and they will have a lower value than five 5 pence coins.

And the highest value there will be five 10 pence coins." Here's another one.

So you could have chosen five 5 pence coins, five 5 pence coins, and a 2 p coin because that must be higher because it's got that extra two p coin, and then seven five p coins.

So that's got seven coins.

All of the coins have a higher value.

So there's lots and lots of different possibilities for ordering those bags.

So, well done if you spotted some of those.

So now it's time for the second part of our lesson where we're going to compare sets of 1 p, 2 p, 5 P, and 10 p coins.

So, Alex thinks they each have the same amount of money here.

Okay, so you can see them, their coins there, can't you? Is he right? So let's have a look, carefully, at what they have.

Let's think about what's the same and what's different.

So Jun has noticed something that's the same.

He says, "I've noticed we each have five coins." "But then something that's different," says Alex, "is our coins have different values, so they cannot be worth the same." "10 p is worth more than 2 p or 5 p, so five 10 p coins must be worth the most," says Sofia.

So Alex's set of coins is worth the most, isn't it? We know we can compare amounts using symbols.

Let's remind ourselves what these look like.

So this symbol is the equal sign.

We use it to show that each side of the symbol are equal in value.

(keyboard clacks) And then we can see three coins on one side, three coins on the other side.

They are equal in value.

This symbol means less than, it is used to show that one set has a smaller value than the other.

And then this symbol means greater than, it shows us when one set has a greater value than another.

So here's Jun and Sofia, and each have some money to spend at the fair.

Who has the most money? So there's our stem sentences to help us again.

Let's have a think.

So we can see there that Sofia is predicting that the five p coins will be worth the most because we can see Jun has five 2 pence coins and she has four 5 pence coins.

I wonder if she's right then? Will the five ps be worth most? Yes.

Jun's agreeing with her.

There are almost the same number of each coin, but we know five p coins are worth much more than two P coins, don't we? So she'll be right.

(keyboard clacks) And let's check and see.

We always need to prove that we're right, don't we? So let's look at the two pence coins first.

There are five coins.

The value of each coin is two p.

So this is? 10 p.

That's right.

And then the five p coins.

There are four coins, but the value of each coin is five p.

So this is? 20 p.

So that is worth more.

She was right, wasn't she? "I was right.

The value of five p coins are greater than the value of the two p coins." Okay.

So now we can see how the less than sign can be used to compare those two sets.

So we knew the set of two p coins was worth less than the set of five p coins.

So we use the less than sign, don't we? The set of 10 p is worth less than 20 p.

So perhaps you could use that sign to compare some sets of coins of your own.

So there's three bags of coins here.

Which purse would you rather have? Okay, let's have a look.

(mouth smacks) Jun says, "I know without counting which bag has the most money.

I will think about what's the same and what's different." And then Sofia's noticed that each bag contained two five p coins, didn't she? So that's what's the same about each bag.

"That means I need to look at the third coin in each bag to decide which has more," she says.

So we can see the third coin in that bag is two p, and then there's a one p, and a five p.

So which bag will contain the most money, do you think? That's right.

It will be the one with the five p, and won't it? As the third coin.

So, well done.

I think I would rather have that bag too, because it has the most money.

(keyboard clacks) So now it's time to check your understanding again.

Which bag contains more money? Remember to think about what's the same and what's different in each bag to help you.

Pause the video now while you try that.

And let's have a look.

What did you say? Did you say a? 'Cause that has three five p coins.

Let's think about this.

So all the bags have one 5 p coin, don't they? So that's the same, so we must look at the other coins.

So in a, there are two other 5 p coins, and that is more than the two other coins in b, which are both worth two p, and in c, where the other two coins are both one p coins.

So, well done if you spotted that.

Here are the children again.

Sofia, this time has spent some of her money.

So who has the most money now? (mouse clicks) Let's use our stem sentences to help us find out.

So we can look at the two p coins first, can't we? There are five coins.

Each coin has a value of two p, so that means we count them in twos.

So this is? 10 p.

That's right.

Now, let's look at the five p coins.

There are two coins.

Each coin has a value of five p, so that means we count them in fives.

So this is? 10 p as well.

Ooh, Sofia's saying, "I noticed you can use different coins to make the same value.

We both have the same." What other coins could we use to make the same value to make 10 p? Do you have any ideas? That's right.

We could use one 10 p coin, couldn't we? So there is one coin, each coin has a value of 10 p.

So that would be 10 p, wouldn't it? Are there any other ways you could think of? That's right.

You could have ten 1 p coins as well, couldn't you? There are 10 coins.

Each coin has a value of one p.

So that would also be 10 p as well, wouldn't it? So, well done if you thought of that.

Okay, so, ooh, now Jun's setting us a problem here.

Jun has three coins of the same value in his pocket.

He has less than 30 p, but more than 3 p.

How much money could Jun have? Hmm? So Sofia's using the information she's already got to help her.

"The three coins must be the same value." So that's important, isn't it? What could they be? (keyboard clacks) So Jun's helping us.

He says "I have less than 30 p, so I do not have three 10 p coins in my pocket.

I have more than three p, so I do not have three one p coins in my pocket." So that helps.

I wonder what he could have then? Ah, Sofia's worked it out.

She says, "You must have three 2 p coins or three 5 p coins." And there we go.

They are the only two possibilities, aren't they? "You must have 6 p or 15 p." So, well done if you spotted that.

Okay, so now it's time for the task for the second part of our lesson.

Use these signs to compare the coins.

So we've got the less than sign, the greater than sign, and the is equal to sign.

And you can see there's a set of coin on each side of the circle there.

And you have to record either the greater than, less than, or is equal to sign in the.

And then on the second part, from e on the other side here, you have to actually draw some coins that are either less than, or greater than, or equal to the amount.

And remember, you can look at the coins and think about what's the same and what's different to help you.

And that may help you work more efficiently.

You may not even have to count up the value of the coins.

So pause the video now while you try that.

Okay, so let's see how you got on with that then.

Let's look at a, where you've got two 2 pence coins and two 5 pence coins.

What did you think? That's right.

So we can see two p is worth less than five p.

So two 2 p coins are worth less than two 5 p coins.

So it's less than.

What about the next one then? So we can see both sets have two 5 p coins, but one set has a two p and the other has a one p.

So two p is greater than one p.

So that side must be greater.

So it's the greater than sign, isn't it? Let's think about the next one.

What do you notice that's the same and what's different there that could help you? Let's see.

That's right.

Both sets have a 10 p coin, but one set has a 5 p, and one has a 2 p.

Five p is greater than two p.

So that side must be greater.

So we use the greater than sign, didn't we? And how about d? So we can have a look there and we can see different coins there.

We've got two 5 ps and we've got a 10 p, haven't we? So what did you think? That's right.

One side has two 5 pence coins and the other has a 10 p coin.

5 plus 5 is equal to 10, so we know that both sides are equal to each other.

So, well done if you spotted that.

Now it's time to draw your own coins.

So let's have a look at this.

We've got a 10 pence and a 5 pence is greater than.

So what could you have had.

You may have done this, you may have said, "A 10 pence and a 5 pence is greater than a 10 pence and a 2 pence, because 5 pence is greater than 2 pence." You may have also had other options.

There are lots of different possibilities for that one, wasn't there.

That's just an example.

And then let's look at f.

So two 2 p coins are less than a two p coin.

And what could you have put? So you could have put, they are less than a two p and a five p, couldn't you? Because we know two 2 p coins are less than a two p and a five p coin, because two p is less than five p.

And there again, there were other options you could have put there.

That's just an example.

Okay, let's look at g.

So we've got something is less than a 10 p, a 5 p, and a 2 p.

So.

Hmm.

The example here is a 10 p, a 5 p, and a 1 p.

That would be worth less than a 10 p, 5 p, and 2 p, because 1 p is less than 2 p.

But again, you could have swapped a different coin and still got a lower value.

There were different options there.

Finally, we've got two 5 p coins and we have to think about what they are equal to.

So two 5 ps would be equal to, what did you choose? Two 5 p coins would be equal to five 2 p coins, wouldn't they? So we could have chosen that.

And there are other options you could've had there as well.

You may have chosen a 10 pence coin there as well.

Lots of different options for these.

These are just examples, aren't they? So, well done.

You've worked really hard.

And hopefully, as well as finding out lots about different types of coins, you've also found out ways of working efficiently.

Thinking about what's the same and what's different to help you work in a much quicker, easier way.

So, well done if you've done that.

Let's think about what we've learned in today's lesson.

The size of a coin is not related to its value.

The name of a 1 p, 2 p, 5 p, and 10 p coin is related to the number of one p coins it is worth.

And both a 5 p and a 10 p coin are smaller than a two p coin but are worth more.

So, well done.

You've worked really hard and hopefully you now feel much more confident about comparing and ordering those coins.

So, well done.
