Look at the coins in the picture
and find the value. There is what pence in total.
In the picture, we’re shown some
coins, and can you see? They’re all the same type of
coin. This makes it a lot easier to count
how much they’re worth. And this is useful because this is
exactly what we’ve got to do with this question. We need to find the value of these
coins. What are they worth altogether? Or perhaps the very first thing we
should do is what our question tells us to do. Look at the coins. What are these coins worth? Do you recognize them? They’re silver colored. They’re a circle shape. And if we look really closely, we
might be able to make out two words that’re written across the center. Sometimes coins have their value
written as a number, but on these coins, they’re written in words. Can you see what’s written on
them? We can see the words five
pence.
Each coin has a value of five
pence, but that’s what one coin is worth, and we’ve got lots of coins here. So how can we find out what these
coins are worth altogether? We’re going to need to count in
fives, aren’t we, one lot of five for each of the coins we can see. Are you ready to skip count in
fives? Five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Because these are all five-pence
coins, we could find how much they’re worth altogether by counting in fives. We ended on the number 30, and
that’s how we know there is 30 pence in total. The missing number is 30.
