Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Compare stated UK money values while separating value reading from recognising real coins.
Can discuss the supplied example in an accessible mode; adapt directions without supplying the target answer.
Check the learner can follow the model with support before moving on. Source prerequisite ordering is not learner mastery; return to prerequisite work when needed.
Use text tokens only, not replicas. An adult may supply known UK coins/notes for optional observation; no buying or handling small coins by children who mouth objects. Open S first, G together, then T alone; put S and G away before T. Keys stay adult-only. No purchase or printing is required; an unavailable physical observation remains pending, not passed.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
What this lesson covers and its limits
These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.
- partial: Recognise and know the value of different coins and notes
Actual coin and note appearance recognition is blocked unless separately supplied and checked; no official images reproduced or current-design claim made.
- blocked: Identify 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins
Text values do not establish identifying real UK coins.
- partial: Know that a £2 coin is worth more than a 50p coin
Actual coin and note appearance recognition is blocked unless separately supplied and checked; no official images reproduced or current-design claim made.
- blocked: Recognise £5 and £10 notes
No authenticated £5/£10 note images or real notes supplied.
- partial: If {{name}} is given a handful of coins, can they name each one — like 2p, 5p, 20p — and sort them from least to most valuable?
Actual coin and note appearance recognition is blocked unless separately supplied and checked; no official images reproduced or current-design claim made.
