Count each printed item once, record denomination subtotals, then combine them using exact pence.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Find denomination subtotals and combine them as an exact GBP amount.

Worked example

How should I count a collection?

Group equal denominations, find each subtotal, then combine them.

The answer key keeps denomination subtotals separate so an adult can check each step.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Begin with a smaller set of familiar denominations.
  • Read the large printed value rather than relying on colour or size.
  • The drawings are schematic teaching art, not currency-recognition images.
