Counting Money - PowerPoint

This teaching resource is designed for Year 2 students to enhance their skills in counting money, a fundamental aspect of their mathematics curriculum. It includes a variety of engaging activities presented in a PowerPoint format that encourages children to count the money displayed in each purse on the slides. The exercises are crafted to help young learners become proficient in identifying and adding different denominations of pounds and pence, improving their understanding of the value of money and how to manage it in practical situations.

The resource goes further by incorporating challenging tasks such as completing part whole models and matching exercises. Students are prompted to draw lines connecting different amounts of money to their corresponding values, as well as to draw money to complete given part whole models.

The resource is thoughtfully designed to cater to the learning needs of young students, making the process of counting money both educational and enjoyable.
