Identifying the Coins of Singapore
This educational video provides a clear and structured introduction to the currency of Singapore, specifically focusing on coin denominations. Through a simple visual presentation, the video introduces the one-cent, five-cent, ten-cent, twenty-cent, fifty-cent, and one-dollar coins. Each coin is displayed showing both the obverse (front) and reverse (back) sides, allowing students to see the distinct visual features, size differences, and colors associated with each value.
The video utilizes a clean, distraction-free format where coins appear one by one against a white background. As each coin is introduced, the narrator clearly articulates its value, and the numerical value is written on screen in both word format (e.g., "1 cent") and symbol format (e.g., "1¢"). The video concludes with a summary screen displaying all the coins side-by-side in ascending order of value, providing a comparative view that reinforces the relative sizes and colors of the currency.
For educators, this resource is an excellent tool for early numeracy and financial literacy lessons. It serves as a foundational text for teaching money recognition, sorting, and counting. The clear audio and slow pacing make it particularly suitable for young learners or students learning English as a second language. Teachers can use this video to introduce a unit on money, specifically for students in or learning about Singapore, to help them identify coins before moving on to practical activities like counting change or role-playing shopping scenarios.
