Year 2 Money - Making the Same Amount - Worksheet

This worksheet is an engaging educational resource for Year 2 pupils to practice their understanding of money and the concept of making the same amount using different combinations of coins. The first activity instructs children to draw lines connecting groups of coins that add up to the same total value. This task helps reinforce their recognition of different coin values and enhances their ability to calculate simple sums of money. It's a visual and interactive way for students to grasp the equivalence of different coin combinations.

The second part of the worksheet focuses on 'part whole models', a method used to break down numbers into constituent parts. Pupils are presented with various amounts, such as 45p, 70p, £2 and 10p, and £5 and 20p, and are tasked with decomposing these totals into smaller sums that add up to the same amount. This exercise is beneficial for developing their understanding of how money can be split into different coin values while still retaining the same overall amount. Additionally, the worksheet challenges students to think creatively by asking them to make 20p, 50p, 35p, and 80p in three different ways, offering them the opportunity to explore multiple combinations and use the same coin more than once, thereby strengthening their problem-solving skills and familiarity with British currency.
