Year 2 are currently learning all about money and are working on the following Maths objectives (to be achieved by the end of the year).
26. recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a particular value
27. find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money
28. solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change
To support your child at home, give them the opportunity to count money by combining different coins/notes. If you receive a supermarket or shop flyer in the post, let your child have a look at the cost of the items and attempt to add some of the amounts together.
