Coins in the classroom

﻿This resource has been designed to allow you and your pupils to explore the world of coins - their history, design and manufacture - through creative activities tailored to the National Curriculum for England and Wales.

Each of the 6 lessons in this pack comes complete with teachers' notes, lesson plans, fact files, worksheets and whiteboard resource. Covering Maths, Literacy, Science, Art and Design, Design and Technology and Geography, each lesson uses coins as a starting point from which pupils can explore, discover and learn about these often over-looked objects in their pockets.

The resource has been designed to complement the curriculum at Key Stage 2 but can be easily adapted for Key Stage 3 using the curriculum links outlined in each lesson.

The resource was named finalist in the International Association of Currency Affairs Best Public Education Program category for 2015.

We hope that you enjoy using Coins in the Classroom.

It is important that children and young people see the relevance in their learning to the world beyond the school gates and that opportunities are taken to forge links to that world. ...Visits and visitors can help to bring abstract learning to life.' Donaldson Report

Museums and galleries can be a rich resource for developing the literacy and numeracy skills of students, including through storytelling, research activities, presentations and 'takeover' initiatives originated by Kids in Museums. These involve pupils being given meaningful roles and for example, helping to develop the service in some way such as designing a leaflet, trail, family booklet, event, exhibition, film-making or trialing a new service.

To find art galleries in Wales that welcome school visits, see the Lightbox resource for schools.

Details of what the National Museums in Wales can offer are detailed here.

Other accredited museums in Wales are listed here.
