Maths: Counting Money

if you have some spare change around the house you could do the following activity starting with single coins 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1e, 2e. then you could move on to 3c, 4c, 6c and this is where the children have to think. Make sure to go through the coin names with them first. If working with the smaller coins you can use quantities to represent the coin amount especially for adding activities.
