Explanation
Coins show their value with a number. Some coins also show a number word. One is 1. Two is 2. Five is 5. Ten is 10. Twenty is 20. We must read the number to know the value. We put coins in order from the smallest value to the biggest value: 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c. A coin with a bigger number is worth more.
| word | number |
|---|---|
| one | 1 |
| two | 2 |
| five | 5 |
| ten | 10 |
| twenty | 20 |
Worked examples
The word ten goes with the number 10. This is a 10c coin.
Here are three coins in order, from the smallest value to the biggest: 2c, 5c and 20c.
Which is worth more, 5c or 2c? 5 is more than 2, so 5c is worth more.
Class activity
Word match: write the words one, two, five, ten and twenty on five cards. Write the numbers 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 on five more cards. Turn them over and play a pairs game. Then draw each coin next to its word.
