Do you use cash?
Have your children seen you use cash?

We are moving towards a becoming cashless society. More pupils in Primary 1 have seen their grown ups use a mobile phone to pay compared to using coins!

Try discussing these questions:

Where does money come from?
How do you get money?
How do grownups get money?
How do you keep your money safe?

Play with coins!

Did you know that new coins do not have numbers on them?
We now have to identify coins based on the colour, size and shape of the coin, unless you can read the words that are printed on it.

If you match the coins together, the pattern makes a shield!

Can you sort coins by…

Colour – Gold, Silver, Bronze
Shape – Circle, Heptagon, Dodecagon
Size – Smallest to biggest
Value – lowest value to highest value

“I am developing my awareness of how money is used and can recognise and use a range of coins. MNU 0-09a”

By the end of P1, your child should be able to

Identify all coins to £2.
Apply addition and subtraction skills and use 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins to pay the exact value for items to 10p.

Museum on on the Mound

On Tuesday, Primary 1 will be leaving school promptly to go on a trip to the money museum – Museum on the Mound, where we will get to see one million pounds in cash (!), learn about the secrets of ‘paper money’, hammer our own coins, and learn about how to keep money safe!
