Running head: COUNTING MONEY LESSON PLAN

Counting Money Lesson Plan Madeline Webb Ivy Tech Community College Central Indiana

COUNTING MONEY LESSON PLAN Standard #7: Planning for Instruction The teacher plans instruction that supports every student in meeting rigorous learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, and pedagogy, as well as knowledge of learners and the community context.

Name of Artifact: Lesson Plan Date: November 2012 Course: EDUC 250: Educational Psychology Brief Description
To develop a lesson plan for a second grade class teaching students how to count money that incorporates Indiana academic standards, skill development in other subject areas and provide accommodations for children of varying ability and motor development levels.

Rationale To document my understanding of Standard 7: Panning for Instruction, I have chosen to include my education psychology lesson plan on counting money. The plan demonstrates my understanding of measurement standards for Indiana and how to accommodate for different learners. This lesson plan can be considered cross-disciplinary as it can be used as a one off lesson or a starting point for many other areas of mathematics including skip counting and using money in real world applications.

Class:

Math

Time: 40 mins

Grade: 2

Unit: Counting Money

Teacher(s): Ms. Madeline Webb Academic Standard(s) Standards: 5. Measurement: Students learn how to measure length, as well as how to compare, order, and describe other kinds of measurement. 2.5.12 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars. Goals/Objectives:

Students will be able to identify coin/money values. Students will be able to write amounts of money.

Materials/Supplies Needed: Students:

Clean sheet of paper Pencil Scissors Fake Money ($10, $5, $1, 25c, 10c, 5c, 1c) Copy of Smart by Shel Silverstein - Poem

Procedure/Methods: 1. Introduction Read "Smart" by Shel Silverstein. Ask did the character in the poem know money values? Ask how many of them think they can count money really well, and how many think they could improve with some practice.

COUNTING MONEY LESSON PLAN State objective: We're going to be working on money this lesson and today you will learn how to count money.

2. Modeling, Explanation, Demonstration A. Teach: When it comes to counting money, bills are probably the easiest things to count. Why? (They have the amount written on them.) How do we tell coins apart? (size, thickness, pictures) List coin names and values. Refer to poem--list money that he started with and its value. Read through poem again. Have a volunteer record the result of each trade. Now, as a class, determine values of the money each time he traded. How much money did he lose?

B. Model and demonstration: Demonstrate how to count money. Always start with the bill or coin of greatest value and work down to the bill or coin with the least value.

3. Guided Practice: Give the class fake bills and coins to cut out and keep in an envelope to use at other times. Tell them to count how much change they have and record their answer as #1 on their blank sheet of paper. Continue with questions and make the student record their answers on the blank piece of paper. (See Process Questions, next.) Choose volunteers to demonstrate and explain how they got their answers. Process Questions-1. 2. 3. 4. How much change do you have? How much is 2 dollar bills, 1 quarter, 1 dime, and 2 pennies? ($2.37) How much is 1 five dollar bill, 1 dollar bill, 3 dimes, and 1 nickel? ($6.31) How much is 1 ten dollar bill, 1 five dollar bill, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 1 penny? ($15.26) 5. How much is 1 five dollar bill, 2 ten dollar bills, 1 dollar bill, 4 nickels, 1 dime, and 1 quarter? ($26.55) 6. You want to buy a candybar for $.45. You have a quarter, a dime, and 3 pennies. Do you have enough? (No, $.38) 7. You have four coins. They add up to $.46. Which coins do you have? 4. Independent Instruction

COUNTING MONEY LESSON PLAN

Students will be given a sheet with a blank jar. Tell the students to draw coins in the jar then swap with a partner. The next morning during bell work time students will take out the jar and record how much money is in their jar.

5. Differentiated Instruction/Accommodations Directions will be given visually and auditory to ensure that a student in the class fully understands the task. Large coins and bills will be used so the students can visually see and feel them. Introduction of larger notes or more difficult addition questions for exceptional students Allow more time for students with learning disabilities to answer questions.

6. Assessment/Feedback The Guided Practice work will be assessed for students understanding of note and coin values, how to add values and what they could buy with a certain amount of money. The Independent Practice homework worksheet will be evaluated to determine students understanding of concepts when they are done independently. While the students are working on their envelopes and the money in their envelopes during Guided Practice the teacher will take anecdotal notes to informally assess students understanding.

7. Closure: Discuss importance of knowing money values by referring back to poem. (He did not know values of money.)

8. Evaluation/Checking for Understanding Listen for student responses during whole-class questioning. Have students record answers to class questions on paper. Check responses. Use every pupil response activities to determine which students understand.

Teacher Reflection I believe this would be a very effective and fun lesson to introduce and develop understanding of money value and how to count money. Extensions to this could be a lesson on counting and buying items, linking skip counting to counting money or starting a classroom economy to reiterate the importance of money. I am unsure on the amount of time and attention 2nd graders would have but I believe this would be enough time to complete the assigned work.

Smart
My dad gave me one dollar bill 'Cause I'm his smartest son, And I swapped it for two shiny quarters 'Cause two is more than one! And then I took the quarters And traded them to Lou For three dimes -- I guess he don't know That three is more than two! Just then, along came old blind Bates And just 'cause he can't see He gave me four nickels for my three dimes, And four is more than three! And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs Down at the seed-feed store, And the fool gave me five pennies for them, And five is more than four! And then I went and showed my dad, And he got red in the cheeks And closed his eyes and shook his head-Too proud of me to speak! - Shel Silverstein
