Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Coins

In Max Maths Year 1 Workbook, young learners are introduced to the basics of currency with a focus on coins. Practice 1 in the workbook is an engaging activity where children are tasked with matching various coins to their corresponding values. The coins presented include common denominations such as 50¢, 1¢, 5¢, 20¢, 10¢, and 2¢. This exercise helps students to become familiar with the physical appearance of coins and their monetary worth, an essential skill in developing financial literacy at an early age.

The workbook further reinforces this knowledge through a table completion exercise. Students are given a table with different coin denominations and their written values, such as 10¢ and 50 cents. They must fill in the missing information, matching the numerical value with the written word for the coin's value, like 5 cents or 20¢. This activity not only consolidates their understanding of coin values but also helps them to recognise the different ways money can be represented and written, laying the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts involving money in the future.
