Theoretical Perspective: This information is important for students to
learn because they
will need to be able to use money efficiently in order to
participate and function
in society.
Procedure:
A) Introductory Activity: As an
introductory activity the class will play Peter
Pig’s Money Counter on the smart board. 4 students at a
time will come up
to the board to play the game, separating coins by their value
before the timer
runs out. The class will play this game until every student
has had the
opportunity to come up to the board in order to review and
display their
understanding of coins and their value.
B) Step-by-step:
-Before going to their
individual computers,
the teacher will demonstrate to students on the smart board
how to play Count On it.
-At the computers the Count
On It website will already be
bookmarked.
-While they play, students
will fill out the Count
On It worksheet to guide them
through the activity.
-The students will play the
game for
approximately 15 minutes improving their skills.
-After, the teacher will
collect the Count On It
worksheet.
C) Closure:
Students will return to
their desks and be given an individual white board and dry
erase marker. As a
class play Enough
Money? on the smart
board. The teacher will facilitate the activity and students
will show their
yes or no answers by writing them on their white boards.
D) Adaptions for Different Learners: A
money reference sheet is available for students who are
struggling with coin
recognition to aid them through the activities. Each student
is also provided
with a set of coins which they can use as manipulatives. This
allows the
activities to become hands on as well so that students can
physically count the
money. This lesson does not include much reading and writing
and therefore will
not be a problem for struggling readers or English language
learners.
E) Homework:
Students will be given a
homework packet to be completed and returned the following
day.
Evaluation:
-Students will be able to distinguish between
coins and their
value.
The teacher will be able to
determine if
students have met this objective by observing them play the Peter Pig’s Money Counter
game during
the review in which students have to separate coins based on
their value. Also,
a more formal assessment is the Count On
It worksheet. By checking the number of coins students
chose to get to a
certain price will inform the teacher whether or not they have
an understanding
of coin value. The homework has students adding different
which will also show whether
they have an understanding or not.
-Students
will be able to add
coins to match a given value.
The Count On It activity will
give the teacher
the opportunity to observe students performing this objective.
By collecting
and reviewing student answers on the Count On It worksheet,
the teacher will be
able to evaluate students on whether they were able to add
coin to match a
given value.
-Students will be able to determine if they can
afford an item with
the amount of money they are given.
Through the closure game, Enough
Money?, the teacher will be able to informally assess
whether students are
able to determine if they can afford an item with the amount
of money they are
given by the answers they hold up on their white board. Also
on the homework
students are asked to display this skill.
