Counting Pounds - Powerpoint

Designed for Year 2 students, the 'Counting Pounds' PowerPoint is an engaging maths teaching resource that focuses on the concept of measurement through money. The presentation encourages students to count the money depicted in various illustrations of purses, piggy banks, and other visuals. Each slide presents a different set of British currency, asking students to calculate the total amount and match these totals to the correct figures. The activity is interactive and aims to improve the students' ability to recognise and add different denominations of pound coins and notes.

Additionally, the resource includes exercises that test the students' understanding of the value of money through true or false statements related to specific amounts. To further enhance their learning experience, the students are tasked with drawing or sticking the equivalent amount of money in an empty piggy bank using a different combination of coins and notes, demonstrating their ability to use various combinations to reach the same total. This practical approach to learning aids in developing their counting and cognitive skills, as well as their familiarity with using currency in everyday situations.
