20 min
Students in a circle on
the floor
one of the coins. What does it have on it? What size is it?
What colour? What shape is it?
The teacher will show the students the different coins and
ask them if they know how much each one is worth. Does
anyone know how to draw the dollar sign? How do we
write an amount of money?
The students will then give back their coins to the teacher.
The class will then play the What Coin Am I? game. The
teacher has a box either her or a student will pick out a
coin and describe what it feels like and looks like. The
class will have to guess what coin it is.
The class will have a discussion about putting the coins
into order from lowest value to highest value. NOT SIZES.

CONCLUSION (whole class share/reflect)
Students will be asked to complete a two stars and a wish Students at their
at the bottom of their work. 2 stars = two things you learnt desks or on the floor
or did well. A wish = one thing you still want to know or
dont understand.
Students will bring their books down to the floor or stay at
their desks to show their work and discuss their findings.
Students will also have an opportunity to discuss their wish
and ask any questions. The teacher may also show a you
tube clip to consolidate the learning.
