I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

A pack of 5 visually appealing and clearly laid out worksheets, focusing on the value of coins.
Using imagery of real money, the worksheets encourage pupils to become more familiar and confident about the value of the different coins currently used in the UK.

A separate answer sheet is provided for each of the 5 worksheets. This could be displayed via a smart board to encourage pupils to mark their own work or peer mark if preferred.
