hand-out Theoretical
Perspective: Learning the value of coins
and having the ability to make change is a very
important skill for students to have. Money is
used every day in life. All though students may
not have their own money, they will be using money
for things like buying lunch or keeping money in a
piggy bank. This lesson allows students to
understand which coins represent what value. They
will also learn different ways of displaying the
same amount of money. Procedure: A. Introductory
Activity: Teacher will begin asking
students questions as a class to see what they
already know. Students will raise their hand and
wait to be called on by the teacher. Questions
will be things such as: “how much is a nickel
worth?”; “what is the name of this coin?”; “how
many pennies are in a dime?”; ect. B.
Step-by-step: The teacher will pass out
the Value of Coins hand-out along with the Coin
Chart hand-out. Students will use to Value of
Coins hand-out to fill in the Coin Chart hand-out
individually. When all students are finished, they
will pass the Coin Chart in to the teacher. The
teacher will then place the students into groups
of four. Each group will be given a bag of coins.
The teacher will explain the game to the students.
Students will be given a random value, ranging
from 0 cents to 1 dollar. Each group must create
the given amount using the least amount of coins.
When the teams are done, one student from each
group will go to the board and write their answer.
If the group got the correct answer, they will
earn a point for their team. The teacher will
explain why each answer is or is not correct. This
will be repeated eight times, giving each student
in the group two chances to go to the board to
write their answer. C. Closure:
As a review, students will play an online game.
The teacher pass out the Computer Game
Instructions worksheet. Students will go to the
computers and follow the instructions to access
the game. They will work individually to complete
the game and record their final results on the
bottom of the worksheet. The worksheet will be
passed into the teacher upon conclusion. Evaluation: A.
How/ when will you
determine if you have met your objectives? The teacher will grade the
hand-outs passed in by the students to see if
objectives have been met. If the Coin Chart
hand-out is correctly filled in, the students are
meeting the objectives. The objectives, display
money conversion and counting, recognize different
U.S. coins and the dollar bill, and converting
cents to nickels, quarters, dimes, and dollars,
will be determined as met if the majority of
answers on the Coin Chart are correct and by
completion of the game. B.
Concerns or questions you
have about teaching this lesson? Will the students have prior
knowledge about money? Will they be able to
understand the values just based on the Value of
Money hand-out? Will they be able to access the
computer game and understand how to work it? Will
they remain on task? |
