Learning journey

Your child is learning about measurement in everyday life — telling time to the hour and half-hour, comparing lengths and weights of objects, understanding money, and using time words like yesterday and tomorrow.

Evidence of understanding

  • Identify 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins
  • Know that a £2 coin is worth more than a 50p coin
  • Recognise £5 and £10 notes

Assessment prompt

If Coin Values is given a handful of coins, can they name each one — like 2p, 5p, 20p — and sort them from least to most valuable?
