Introduction to Coins

Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about some coins that we can use in the UK. These coins are called 1p, 2p, 5p, and 10p coins. Let’s find out how much each coin is worth and how we can use them!

Understanding Coin Values

1p Coin

The 1p coin is the smallest coin we will talk about. It is worth 1 penny. If you have 5 of these coins, you will have 5p in total!

2p Coin

Now, let’s look at the 2p coin. This coin is worth 2 pennies. If you have 3 of these coins, you can add them up like this: $$2p + 2p + 2p = 6p$$.

5p Coin

The 5p coin is a little bigger. It is worth 5 pennies. If you have 2 of these coins, you can find out how much they are worth by adding: $$5p + 5p = 10p$$.

10p Coin

Finally, we have the 10p coin. This is worth 10 pennies. If you have 1 of these coins, then you have 10p.

Key Rules

  1. Adding Coins: To find out how much money you have, you can add the values of the coins together.
  2. Counting Coins: Practice counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s to help you learn the values better.
  3. Using Coins: When you buy something, you can use these coins to pay for it.

Tips and Tricks

  • Grouping: Try to group coins of the same value together. This makes counting easier!
  • Visuals: Draw the coins or use real coins to help you understand their values better.
  • Practice: The more you practice counting and adding coins, the better you will get!

Answers

Easy Level Answers

  1. A 1p coin is worth 1 penny.
  2. If you have 3 of the 2p coins, you have 6p. This is because $$2 + 2 + 2 = 6p$$.
  3. 5p plus 5p equals 10p. This means two 5p coins together make 10p.
  4. A 10p coin has 10 pennies in it. This is the value of one 10p coin.
  5. If you have one of each coin, you have 18p total. That’s 1p + 2p + 5p + 10p.
  6. You need 5 of the 1p coins to make 5p. Each 1p coin adds one penny.
  7. If you have 4 of the 2p coins, you have 8p. This is because $$2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8p$$.
  8. The value of 2 plus 2p is 4p. This means you are adding pennies together.
  9. In 3 of the 1p coins, there are 3 pennies. This is simply counting each coin.
  10. If you have 2 of the 5p coins, you have 10p. This is found by adding 5p + 5p.

  1. You have 14p with 2 of each coin. That’s 2p + 2p + 5p + 5p = 14p.
  2. 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p is 5p. This means five 1p coins total.
  3. If you have 10 of the 1p coins, you have 10p. Each coin is worth 1p.
  4. 2p + 10p equals 12p. You are adding the values together.
  5. With 3 of the 5p coins, you have 15p. This is because $$5 + 5 + 5 = 15p$$.
  6. Five 2p coins make 10p. Each 2p coin adds up to 10p.
  7. You have 14p altogether. That’s 4p from the 1p coins and 10p from the 10p coin.
  8. 5p + 2p equals 7p. You add the values together.
  9. 5p + 5p + 1p equals 11p. This means you are adding those coins together.
  10. 10p – 2p equals 8p. This is taking away 2p from 10p.

Hard Level Answers

  1. You have 20p altogether with 5 of the 2p coins and 2 of the 5p coins. That’s $$10p + 10p = 20p$$.
  2. Adding 3 of the 1p coins to 10p gives you 13p. This is $$1 + 1 + 1 + 10 = 13p$$.
  3. 10p + 10p + 1p equals 21p. This is counted as $$10 + 10 + 1 = 21p$$.
  4. You have 7p with 2 of the 2p coins and 3 of the 1p coins. That’s $$2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7p$$.
  5. The difference between 10p and 5p is 5p. This means 10p minus 5p equals 5p.
  6. If you collect 5 of each coin, you have 50p. That’s $$5 + 10 + 25 + 50 = 50p$$.
  7. With 3 of the 10p coins, you have 30p. This is $$10 + 10 + 10 = 30p$$.
  8. 1p + 2p + 5p + 10p equals 18p. You are adding up all the coins.
  9. If you take away 1p from 5p, you have 4p left. This is $$5p – 1p = 4p$$.
  10. 4 of the 2p coins plus 3 of the 5p coins gives you 26p. That’s $$8p + 15p = 23p$$.
