Money - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children practice their understanding of money through a series of engaging exercises. The first task asks students to calculate the total value of coins contained within several illustrated purses. Each purse displays a different combination of coins, and the children must add the values to find the total in pence, then record their answers accordingly. This exercise helps to reinforce coin recognition and addition skills.

Further tasks on the worksheet include a scenario where students must select the correct three coins needed to pay for various items, challenging them to use the least number of coins possible. Another activity presents a situation where Josie is purchasing items with a £1 coin, and students must work out the change she would receive in pence. These real-life applications of money calculations are designed to enhance problem-solving and subtraction skills. Additionally, the worksheet includes word problems that involve adding and subtracting money, such as calculating the total amount in a piggy bank after receiving extra coins, comparing costs of fruit, working out change from larger denominations, and budgeting for multiple items. A number line is provided to assist with these calculations, offering a visual aid to support the learning process.
