Instructions: Use the £ symbol for pounds and the p symbol for pence. Read each amount carefully, then write your answer in the box. You may work out coin totals by counting in 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p or 50p steps.

1

Pounds or Pence?

Write each amount using the correct symbol: £ for pounds or p for pence. For the last two, write the amount in words as well as using the symbol.

1. 35 pence =

2. 2 pounds =

3. 70 pence =

4. 5 pounds =

5. 1 pound and 25 pence =

6. 3 pounds and 5 pence =

2

Count the Coins

Add the values of the coins in each purse. Write the total using £ or p. Remember that 100p makes £1.

1. 20p + 10p + 5p =

2. 50p + 20p + 20p =

3. £1 + 20p + 5p =

4. 50p + 10p + 10p + 2p =

5. £2 + £1 + 50p =

3

Make the Same Amount

Find the missing amount or coin value. In questions 1 and 2, the coins shown must add up to the target. In questions 3 and 4, write a different coin combination that makes the same target amount.

1. Make 30p: 10p + 10p +

2. Make 65p: 50p +

3. Make 40p in a different way from 20p + 20p:

4. Make 75p in a different way from 50p + 20p + 5p:

Shopkeeper’s Change

2. A toy costs 60p. You pay £1. Change:

3. An apple costs 25p. You pay 50p. Change:
