Select Money Lesson
This Year 2 Select Money lesson covers the prior learning of counting notes and coins, before moving onto the main skill of selecting notes and coins to find a total.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step.
