lesson plan 7

This is the lesson plan I did for my 7th one. I feel like they are getting a little easier as the weeks go on. I enjoy doing math lessons the most, although I did a science one this week as well and really enjoyed making it.

 

Lesson Seven

Lesson Title: Let’s count money!

Standards: Geometry and Measurement: Grade 1: C Work with time and money: Know the value of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter.

Goals/Overview: The students will learn to know the value of money and how they can add it together to get more or take away to get less.

Objectives: Students will have a clear understanding of the value of coins and know how to add them.

Materials: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, pencils, paper, markers, coin examples (on my whiteboard).

Vocabulary: money, penny, nickel, dime, quarter, buying, worth, value, compare, brainstorm.

Anticipatory Set/Hook: I will have a different amount of money sitting on each student’s desk and a blank piece of paper. I will tell the student to make a list (DOK1)/ brainstorm what they could buy with the coins they have. “Students please make a list of what you could buy with your coins.” I will also do one on the board so the students can look and compare (DOK4) theirs to mine. “Look at the board and compare my list to your list”.

Modeling/Teacher input: After my students and I brainstorm what we they think they could spend their money we will discuss them as a class and see if they could be something doable of if they had no concept of the coins. I will then put some pictures of the different coins on the board and we will classify (DOK2) them as a class. “Can you classify these different coins”? I will also write it really big on a piece of chart paper so we can hang it in the room as a reference for the students.

Guided practice: Together as a class I will put different amounts of money on the board and we will calculate (DOK3) a way to come up with this amount. “Calculate the amount of money you come up with”. Then I will ask the students to show us another way to get to this same amount different than the one we just did.

Check for Understanding: To check for understanding of the coins I will flash a picture of the coins and have the students tell me what the coin and called and what the value of the coin is. I will do this a few times and make sure all students answer at least once.

Independent practice: For an easy but great independent practice, I will give my students an amount of money (45 cents or 23 cents), I will give them 5 different money values. They will then have to create (DOK5) 3 different ways to come up with the amount of money, or all 5 amounts. “Create 3 different ways to find your amount of money for all 5 amounts on your paper”.  I will give each students random amounts of money so they cannot copy off of the other student next to them. They will turn this in to me for a grade.

Closure: I will give students a certain amount of money and as they finish their worksheet they will bring it to me and bring their coins as well. I will have candy on my desk that they can buy. They have to spend all the money they have (they will have about 50 cents in a quarter, dimes, nickels, and pennies). There will be bigger candy for more and littler candy for less. So they will decide if they want more candy it will be littler or have lesson candy but bigger candy. This will not only show me what they know about adding and knowing the value of their money but they will get to decide how they want to use it. When the students come to me I will ask them, “What is the value (DOK6) of your money”?

Modifications: For advanced students I will give them a dollar and change amount to create how they can make that amount with just change. For example $2.76 but they can only use all change to create this amount of money.

For struggling learners I will work with me one on one or in a group. For the independent practice I will only give them 2 or 3 amounts to create and they will only have to create 2 different ways to come up with the amount.

Strategies: I used brainstorming in my hook for my strategy for this lesson.
