Subject:
Math
Opening Hook/Warm Up:
Math is sweet! Can anyone tell me what these cookies
have in common with these coins? If we can discover
what they have in common, then we can eat them!
Use cookies to show the difference in sizes between the
penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.
Big Understanding: Most goods and services in our modern economy are priced based on monetary value so
students need to learn early how to distinguish and utilize money.
Summative Assessment Evidence: Coin Coloring worksheet to be completed after lesson on their own.
Students who cant complete the worksheet correctly will be sent home with an additional worksheet with similar
problems to do as homework/guided practice with parents. Any additional work will be put discretely into childs
homework folder and graded the next day.
Higher Level Questions to Incorporate: Higher Level Questions to Incorporate: Can anyone name one of
the men on any of the coins or what their jobs in life were? What does the number on the front of the coin mean?
Introduce Presidents on the coins and explain production year. Show coins from teachers birth year and students
birth year.
Model by using the front chart how the coins are valued and that the cent sign is important.
Model how the interactive game will work. Will mimic the combination of coins that I modeled in previous
step.
Model how to complete independent worksheet by coloring the coins with the assigned color.
Independent Practice: YOU DO (Individual students): After interactive game, students will independently
complete a money worksheet. They will match bake sale items on one side of the page with a coordinating
numerical amount on the other side. Check for understanding again and send home additional worksheet if
student conception isnt detected through individual practice.
Ending, Summary / Reflection: What did we learn about coins today? Do bigger coins mean more value?
Tomorrow we will use our knowledge of coins in combination with counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to come up with
different money values. Why is understanding money important?
