Fascinating Fact:

Mind the £1 regroup. 85p + 25p = 110p = £1.10. 100p becomes £1.

In KS1 Maths, pupils add and subtract pounds and pence, swap 100p for £1, and sense check answers by estimating. These skills help with prices, totals, and giving change.

Key Terms

Pound (£): UK money unit. 1 pound equals 100 pence.
Pence (p): Small UK money unit. 50p is half of £1.
Regroup: Exchange 100p for £1 to make counting and sums easier.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How many pence are in a pound for KS1?

There are 100 pence in one pound. You can swap 100p for £1 whenever it helps a calculation.

How do I add money like 85p + 25p in Year 2?

Add the pence first. 85p + 25p = 110p. Regroup 110p as £1.10. Write your answer as pounds and pence.

What is an easy way to subtract money and find change?

Count up to the next pound, then to the total. For 65p from £2, count 35p to £1, then £1 more to £2, so the change is £1.35.
