After comparing students knowledge of the names of
coins prior to the online lesson and their knowledge during
the review at the end of class I will be able to see if
students can name a coin after seeing it.
2.
Students

After comparing students knowledge of the values of
coins prior to the online lesson and their knowledge during
the review at the end of class I will be able to see if
students can name the value of a coin after seeing it.
3.
Students
will be able to apply addition skills to find the value of
different combinations of coins.
The
students will be required to complete a worksheet for
homework with additional coin problems. By reviewing the
homework sheet the following day in class I will be able
to evaluate what students are still confused about and
what needs further review.
