Using this page
Add up UK coins (1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2) and £5, £10 and £20 notes when notes are switched on. Money is part of primary maths in England from Year 1, starting with recognising coins and notes. Coins are drawn as labelled circles, with a double ring on the £1 and £2, so children read the value.
Tips
- Use real coins alongside the sheet when you can.
- Count from the biggest coin or note down to the smallest.
- Play shop at home: put prices on a few items and take turns giving change.
- Talk about how money is written: dollars and cents, or pounds and pence.
Worked example
£1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 2p. Start with the biggest: £1. Add 50p to make £1.50, then 20p for £1.70, 10p for £1.80 and 2p for £1.82. The total is £1.82.
Common mistakes
Writing £1.82p with both symbols. Use £ for pounds or p for pence, not both.
Writing 182p as £18.2. 100 pence is £1, so 182p is £1.82.
How to use this generator
Choose the options above the sheet: the number of questions and the settings for this kind of worksheet. Every change makes a new sheet straight away, and New worksheet gives a different set of questions with the same settings.
Each sheet has a worksheet number printed at the top. Type the same number later, or keep the page link, to print exactly the same questions and answer key again. Leave Answer key page ticked to print the answers on a second page, then press Print. Every printed page carries the makekite logo and web address.
Common questions
How are amounts under £1 written?
In pence, such as 45p. From £1 upwards the key uses pounds with two decimal places, such as £1.05.
Are the coins real pictures?
No. They are simple labelled circles and rectangles, so children read the value rather than learn the design, and the sheets print clearly in black and white.
Can I print the same worksheet again?
Yes. Note the worksheet number printed at the top, or keep the link in your browser's address bar, which ends with that number. Entering it later gives the same questions and answers.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, and nothing you choose is sent anywhere: the sheets are made in your browser.
