Instructional Procedures

  • “In today’s lesson, we are going to complete an activity using coins."

  • Introduce "Ticket Into Math" (Formative Assessment 1)(attached)Say, "I want to know what you know about coins.  Please complete this Ticket Into Math independently." 

  • Once students complete the ticket quickly look over to determine students understanding of money.
  • Discussion questions: Have partners turn and talk
  • "Whisper to your partner and discuss what you noticed about the "Ticket into Math". Give partners  one minute to talk, then choose a few partners to share out to the class.
  • Lead discussion on when they might see money? Why do we need money?
  • Record responses on chart paper. Once students are finished talking move to activity.
  • Pass out a collection of coins to each student.
  • Introduce story I Know About Money, It's So Funny! by Tracy Kompelien
  • As you read each page about each coin have students hold up the corresponding  coin. (Formative Assessment 2)
  • Stop reading today on page 9.
  • Display Task Card number 1 (attached)
  • Read the card to the whole group. Ask partners to turn and talk about how they think we could demonstrate the information on the card.
  • Call on students to give examples on how they would solve the card.
  • Model solving the card or call a student to model for you.
  • Pass out a set of task card to each pair. Each pair will read and solve the problem on their card and record their answer on the back of the task card.
  • End of the lesson student will complete their own Task Card (Ticket Out the Door)
