MOTIVATION ​(Engaging the learner(s)*)

​ tudents will gather at the carpet and participate in a Chalk Talk about why we need
Motivation: S
money and examples of how we use money in our everyday lives. Teacher will play the
“Money Song” ​for the students and introduce to students that the topic of today’s lesson will be
identifying coin values.

DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES
(including Key Questions)
1. Teacher will explain to students that during today’s lesson, they will learn about the
different kinds of coins and their values. Students will return to their desks and the
teacher will use a SMART board presentation to introduce the values of a penny, nickel,
dime, and quarter. The teacher will probe students with questions to activate their prior
knowledge of the different coin values and educate the students on each coin value.​ (Can
you help me identify the coins? Does anyone know the name of this coin? Has anyone
seen this coin before?)
2. Teacher will distribute a set of coin manipulatives to each student and will use the ​Coin
Value​ SMART board presentation to educate students on how to distinguish between
each coin based on its physical attributes, the different monetary value that each coin is
worth, and the various strategies that are used for counting coins. ​(Who is on the front of
this coin? What is on the backside of this coin? What is the value of this coin? Can you
count the coins on this slide?)
3. The teacher will distribute to each student a miniature “​Coin Value Chart​” that the
students will keep at their desk and will be permitted to use the chart as a visual aid to
refer to until they feel more comfortable and confident with their money skills.

 4. To gain insight about the students’ understanding up to this point of the lesson, teacher
will review the concepts just taught by using a SMART board activity that will assess the
students’ ability to match the front and back sides of the four different coins. The teacher
will use a virtual spinner wheel to randomly select students to answer the questions
during the activity ​(Can you match the front of the coins with the correct back?)
5. Teacher will use a virtual spinner wheel to randomly select students to participate in a
Coin Sort formative assessment on the SMART board. The teacher will use this activity
to assess the students’ level of understanding at this point of the lesson and determine
whether the students feel comfortable enough to continue moving forward with the lesson
or if any areas covered thus far require further clarification or attention. ​(What category
does this coin belong in? Can you drag the coin into the correct category? How does
everyone feel about the information about coin values that we have covered so far? Does
anyone have any questions?)
6. Teacher will use the SMART board to project questions about the monetary value of each
coin. Student volunteers will be called on by the teacher and instructed to circle the
correct value that corresponds with the coin projected on the SMART board. ​(How much
is this coin worth? Which shamrock has the correct value written on it for this coin?)
7. Teacher will conduct a formative assessment on their ability to identify each coin on the
SMART board. This assessment will be conducted in a whole group discussion as the
teacher is progress monitoring and collecting anecdotal observations while the students
participate in a Turn and Talk for each coin with their classmates who are sitting at the
same table. The teacher will ask each table to share the response they came up with
before revealing the correct answer. ​ (What is the name of this coin? What coin does
your table think it is?)
8. Teacher will continue using SMART board activities to educate the students further on
the monetary value of each coin. Teacher will continue to use a virtual spinner wheel to
randomly select student volunteers to participate in the SMART board activities in order
to assess each student fairly. ​(What is the value of a penny? How much is one nickel
worth? How many cents is a dime? What is the value of a quarter?)
9. Teacher will review the concept of skip counting during a whole group discussion in
order to help students understand how they can apply this strategy when they are
counting coins. ​(What do we count by when we are counting nickels? Can we use skip
counting when we are counting dimes? How much is a nickel worth? When we are
counting nickels, what do we count by? What about when we are counting dimes? Does
anyone want to try applying the skip counting strategy towards counting quarters? What
do we count by when we are counting pennies?)
10. Teacher will split students into groups and instruct each group to follow along with the
questions displayed on the SMART board presentation. Students will be instructed to
work with their group members for each question. Teacher will use a virtual spinner

 wheel to randomly select groups to share their response to each question before revealing
the correct answer. ​(Which leprechaun has more money? Is a quarter worth more than a
nickel? Which leprechaun has the least amount of money? How much money do each of
the leprechauns have?)
11. Teacher will instruct students to return to their desks after the group activity. The teacher
will use the SMART board presentation to have students participate in a “Trading Coins”
activity. Teacher will call on volunteers to answer each question. ​(If we trade in our 5
pennies for 1 coin, which coin will we receive? If we trade in 10 pennies for 1 coin,
which coin will we receive? If we trade in 2 nickels for 1 coin, which coin will we
receive?)
12. Teacher will close the lesson by using activities on the SMART board presentation to
review the concepts and information that the students have been taught during this lesson
before being assigned an independent assessment. ​(How much money does Lucky have in
his pot of gold? How many coins do we need to pay for this item on Lucky’s lunch
menu?)
13. Teacher will distribute the ​“Money Test”​ worksheet and instruct students to complete
the assignment independently. Teacher will collect each students’ completed assignment
to be assessed. Teacher will review the students’ work and assess the students’
understanding of the concepts presented in the lesson in order to help determine any area
of misunderstandings, misconceptions, or any aspect of the lesson that needs to be
modified in order to allow for more effective lesson planning and implementation for the
future, as well as to determine any areas of the concept that need to be retaught or
reviewed as a whole class or with individual students. Students are expected to
accurately answer 4 out of the 5 questions on the ​“Money Test” ​worksheet.
14. Teacher will bring students’ attention back to whole class instruction and will lead a
discussion to debrief and process the lesson. Teacher will direct students’ attention back
to the SMART board and will conduct debrief the lesson by using an interactive game
show on the SMART board. Teacher will call on student volunteers for each question.
(How much is a penny worth? Which coin is copper and brown? Which coin is worth 10
cents? Which coin is worth 5 cents?)
15. Teacher will end the lesson with a ​“Roll the Dice” ​formative assessment during which
each student will pass around a dice and briefly answer a question aloud based on the
number the student rolls.​ (What are three new things that you learned during our lesson
today? What are two things that we learned about today that you found interesting?
What is one question about today’s lesson that you still have?)
