💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a practice activity after introducing Year 2 students to the concept of money and different coin denominations. It can be used in class as an independent activity, as part of a small group task, or as a homework assignment. For students who are struggling, provide physical coins to help them count and calculate the totals. Encourage them to group coins of the same value together to make counting easier. A common mistake is to forget to count all the coins, so encourage students to double-check their work. For students who are confident, extend the activity by asking them to create their own word problems involving money and toys, or to calculate change from a given amount.
