About Year 1 Recognising Coins Worksheets
Can your child recognise UK coins? These free Year 1 recognising coins worksheets introduce children to the coins they'll use in everyday life. Learning to identify 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, and £1 coins is an essential life skill as well as a key part of the Year 1 maths curriculum.
Over five daily worksheets, your child will learn to recognise and name all UK coins by their appearance and value. They'll sort coins, match them to their values, and begin to understand which coins are worth more. Each worksheet includes visual images of real coins, making the learning practical and relevant.

Top Tip for Parents
Give your child a jar of real coins to explore! Let them sort, count, and make rubbings of the coins. Playing 'shop' at home — with real coins and price labels on toys — is one of the best ways to make money maths meaningful and memorable.
All our Year 1 Recognising Coins worksheets are completely free to download and print. Each worksheet is aligned to the UK national curriculum and includes fluency practice, word problems, and reasoning challenges — everything your child needs for a well-rounded KS1 maths practice session.
