You can not get enough practice at counting money as it helps to improve all kinds of mathematical skills. This set of pages is aimed at Year 2 and looks at counting 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins. There are a couple of tips to make this easier: 1. One of the best ways to [...]
Here are four great pages on clothes shopping for girls and boys. Whilst most of the work on money in Year 1 keeps to pence, by Year 2 children should be working with pounds. The questions here can be worked out mentally using a variety of techniques. For example, working out the cost of 3 [...]
This set of worksheets looks at the cost of getting to the seaside! A chart of train fares is shown and questions are asked about the cost of various groups going on journeys. Children may well have not come across a chart like this before and may need help showing how it works. Much of [...]
