How to use this sheet

  • Have real coins on the table and say each amount both ways: 50p and £0.50.
  • Write the amount in pence first, then put the pounds before the point and the pence after it.
  • Read prices in a shop or on a receipt and say them in pence.

Common mistakes

  • Writing 7p as £0.7. Pence under 10 need a 0 after the point: £0.07.
  • Using both signs, such as £0.45p. Use p or £, not both.
  • Reading £1.50 as 1 pound and 5 pence. It is 1 pound and 50 pence.
