Explore combinations of coins that total the same amount

Maths

In this unit pupils will recognise and use symbols for pounds and pence combining amounts to make particular values. They will solve simple problems including giving change. In the future unit pupils will explain represent and compare whole pounds and pence.  They will convert quantities of money between pounds and pence using the most efficient and reliable strategy to find the change.

In the prior unit pupils consolidated their recognition and knowledge of the value of different denominations of coins. They solved simple problems practically involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit. In this unit pupils will recognise and use symbols for pounds and pence combining amounts to make particular values. They will solve simple problems including giving change.
