TGB: counting coins
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Use or draw coins to show the given amounts.
10p in 5p coins. 2 5p coins
50p in 5p coins. 10 5p coins

40p in 5p coins 8 5p coins
60p in 20p coins 3 20p coins
£1 in 50p coins 2 £1 coins
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Can you add these amounts together?
1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p = 7p
2p + 2p + 2p + 2p = 8p
5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p = 25p
10p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p = 80p
20p + 20p + 20p + 20p = 80p
2p + 2p + 1p = 5p
5p + 5p + 10p = 20p
£1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 = £8
£2 + £2 + £2 + £2 = £8
£2 + £1 = £3
