examine and look at to see how its different. They

there is partner work.
Lesson starts with what the coins are before changing
into how much each one is worth.
The teacher helps support by sorting the coins and
building upon the knowledge of the previous coin.
Examples are given as how to choose which student
is the teacher in the partner work during the review.
Both formative and summative assessments are used

material.
This is not specifically described in the lesson. It could be
incorporated in the partner work by letting them choose
the coin they teach or choosing their partner.
During review, questions are asked relating back to the
introduction to help make the lesson more relevant.
Students are paired off during the small group activities
and the teacher is leading the large group instruction time.
Objectives match the goals being taught in the lesson.
Students are given coins to look at and then are supposed
to help teach their partner the name and value of the coin.
The lesson utilizes both large and small group activities to
help teach the value of coins.
There is a mock shopping experience during the lesson
where the students use various coins to buy the items.
Helps teach them the answers to the questions they got
wrong and why this is the right answer.
This can very easily be added into the lesson. Students
can use a rating scale to show how confident they feel on
the lesson topic (ex. thumbs up meaning they got it and
thumbs down they need help)
