Counting Money
We can use notes and coins to make up certain amounts of money. This is useful for when you need to buy something!

Making amounts
- Here are some notes and coins:
- 20p, 20p, 50p, £1, £5
- Add the coins and notes together to work out the total.
- Pence: 20p + 20p + 50p = 90p
- Pounds: £1 + £5 = 6
- The total is £6 and 90p.

Making totals
- A shopping bill comes to £8. Make the total with coins and notes.
- There are many ways to do this, for example:
- £5 + £2 + £1 = £8
- £2 + £2 + £2 + £2 = £8
- £5 + £1 + £1 + 50p + 50p = £8
