Recognising Coins - Worksheet

The "Recognising Coins" worksheets are a set of maths teaching resources designed to help students learn to identify and add the value of various British coins. Each worksheet presents a visual task where students must examine illustrations of purses containing different coins and calculate the total value of the coins in each purse. The coins are depicted in pence and pounds, and students must use their knowledge of the UK currency to determine the sum of money represented. This activity is aimed at enhancing students' ability to recognise and work with real-life money, an essential skill for practical mathematics.

There are multiple worksheets provided, each with a series of purses and different combinations of coins to challenge the students. The worksheets are structured to cater to a range of abilities, with some purses containing simpler coin combinations and others presenting more complex arrangements to add up. To support learning, an answer sheet is also available, which provides the correct total values for the coins in each purse. This allows students to check their work and teachers to easily assess understanding. The worksheets are visually engaging and provide a hands-on approach to learning about money, making the task both educational and enjoyable for young learners.
