Understand How to Find Change from One Pound

In this activity, we will be working out change from a £1 coin.

£1 = 100p

Example

Something costs 80p.

You pay with a £1 coin.

What change do you get?

Answer

Count on from 80p, like this.

That makes 20p change.

You could also do a subtraction calculation to find the difference between the two numbers: 100 - 80 = 20

Remember that there is often more than one way to work out the answer to a maths problem - you need to do the one that works best for you.

Does that make sense?
