Counting Coins - Worksheet

The "Counting Coins" worksheets are a collection of engaging educational resources designed to help children enhance their counting and addition skills using British currency. In Worksheet 1, students are presented with images of purses containing 2 pence coins. The task is to count in 2s to add up the value of the coins in each purse, providing a practical application of skip counting. This approach not only reinforces their understanding of coin values but also practices their ability to count by multiples.

Similarly, Worksheet 2 shifts the focus to 5 pence coins, where children are instructed to count in 5s to determine the total value of coins within each piggy bank. Worksheet 3 continues this pattern, this time with 10 pence coins, requiring students to count in 10s. These activities not only solidify the concept of counting in multiples but also familiarise students with the appearance and value of different coins. The final Worksheet 4 challenges students to apply their skills more broadly by counting in multiples of either 2, 5, or 10 to find the total value of an array of coins. An accompanying answer sheet provides the correct totals for each set of coins, allowing for self-assessment or teacher-led review.
