Learning about Money with Numicon
Children need to get to grips with two big ideas involving money:
1. That buying something is a transaction when money is exchanged for something else.
2. That different combinations of coins are of equal value even though
they might look different e.g. one 5p coin is of equal value to two 2p
coins plus one 1p coin and both of these are equal to five 1p coins.
They also need to use and apply their understanding of number and calculating in situations involving money.

Important note about printing pdfs
Most printers default to print pdf files within the printable area of the page. This effectively means that pdf files are automatically scaled down to fit the page. In order to print our display resources at the correct size you will need to choose ‘page setup’ and select the appropriate page scaling options (either ‘None’ or ‘100%’ depending on the application and printer you are using).
