Recognizing and Counting Money:
Pounds
In this video, we’re going to learn
how to recognize the value of notes and coins used in Egypt and how to count a group
of notes and coins. These are the different pound notes
used in Egypt. The front of each note is written
in Arabic, and the back of each note is written in English. The first note is worth five
Egyptian pounds. We can see the number five on the
back of this note, and five pounds is also written in words. Our second note is worth 10
pounds. This is a 20-pound note. Our next note is a 50-pound
note. It’s worth 50 pounds. This note is worth 100 pounds. Egypt also has a 200-pound
note. Not all of the pounds in Egypt are
notes. We also have a one-pound coin.
Now that we’ve learned about some
of the notes and coins used in Egypt, let’s think about how to count an amount of
money. To count how many pounds are shown,
we need to add together the value of all the notes and all the coins. One way we could count the total
amount of money is to start with the note with the highest value. Which of the notes and coins has
the highest value? Our first note is worth 20
pounds. Our second note is worth five
pounds. And each of our coins is worth one
pound. So the note with the highest value
is the 20-pound note.
We could use this number line to
count the total number of pounds. We start with the note worth the
most, which is our 20-pound note. And we can count forward 20. Next, we can add our five-pound
note. Now we have 25 pounds. And next we can add our three
one-pound coins: 26, 27, 28. The total amount of money shown is
28 pounds. We used our number line to count
forward 20, five, and three lots of one. Now that we’ve learned how to
recognize Egyptian notes and coins and how to count an amount of notes and coins,
let’s try answering some questions.
Choose the five-pound note.
In this question. We have to select the note which is
worth five pounds, and we’re given four different notes to choose from. Our first note has the number 10
written on it, so we know this note is worth 10 pounds. Our second note has the number 50
written on it. This note is worth 50 pounds. Our third note is worth 20
pounds. So the last note must be worth five
pounds. Does it have a number five written
on it? Yes, it does. This is the five-pound note.
Count the amount of money.
We’re shown three different
Egyptian notes. We have to work out the value of
each note and add them together to find the total amount of money shown. Our first note has the number 10
written on it. It also says 10 pounds in
words. This is a 10-pound note. We’ve got a 20-pound note and a
five-pound note. We could add the value of these
notes using our number line. Let’s start with the note which has
the highest value. Which is worth more, a 10-pound
note, a 20-pound note, or a five-pound note? We know that 20 is worth more than
10, and 20 is worth more than five. Let’s start by counting forward
20.
Our 10-pound note is now the note
with the highest value because 10 is worth more than five. Now we can add our 10-pound
note. What’s 10 more than 20? It’s 30. So far, we’ve counted 30
pounds. Now we just need to add our
five-pound note. Five more than 30 is 35. The total amount of money shown is
35 pounds.
Count the amount of money
shown.
In this question, we’ve been shown
four different notes. We have to work out the value of
each note and then add them together to find the total amount of money shown. Our first note is worth 50 pounds,
so we could count forward 50 from zero on our number line. So far, we’ve got 50 pounds. Our next note is worth 20 pounds,
so we need to count forward 20 from 50 on our number line. 50 add 20 is 70. Our next note is worth 10 pounds,
so we need to count forward 10 more from 70: 70, 80. The last of our notes is worth five
pounds. Five more than 80 is 85. The total amount of money shown is
85 pounds.
How many pounds are shown?
To find the total amount of pounds,
first, we need to look at each of the notes and work out their value. Our first note is worth 20 pounds,
and our second note is worth 50 pounds. We need to add together 50 pounds
and 20 pounds. 50 plus 20 equals 70. 70 pounds are shown. We worked out the value of each
note and then added them together. 50 pounds plus 20 pounds equals 70
pounds.
What have we learned in this
video? We’ve learned how to recognize
Egyptian pound coins. We’ve also learned how to recognize
Egyptian pound notes, and we also learned how to add a group of coins and notes to
find the total value.
