Direct Instruction Lesson Plan Format Date: 3/14/13 Grade Level: 2 Target Students: Whole Class

Theme/Topic: Measurement and Data: Work with Time and Money Rationale: Students need to understand how to count and manipulate money as it is a skill they will use for the rest of their lives. Common Core State and/or NC Essential Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.8 Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have? Lesson Objectives (Behavioral and/or Performance Objective): Students will Students will be able to count money and interpret symbols ($ and ) able to: appropriately by practicing on the Smartboard and iPads. At the end of What, How, this lesson, they will be proficient in counting coins. We will take and to What anecdotal notes of proficiency with this concept and collect and analyze Extent? their work at the end of the lesson. Student Friendly Objective: Students will learn how to count coins and make change. Essential Question: Why is it important to know the value of coins? How do we manipulate change to reach a given value? Materials: Smartboard/Smart Note presentation iPads (apps: Count Money, Counting Money) YouTube Computers Time: 5 minutes Introduction to the Lesson: (Hook/Review/Intro.) Prior to beginning, ask students: Why is it important to know the value of coins? How do we manipulate change and reach a given value? We will begin our lesson by showing the students a YouTube video: The Lesson Activities

Coin Song. This will review with them the value of coins, which we have already learned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ARNqyQ0CuY Teacher Input/Modeling: Display on the Smartboard a penny, nickel, dime and quarter. Call on children to come up to the board and label to coins by word and value (Make sure they use when labeling coins). Next, we will practice sorting the coins in different columns. Children will come up to the Smartboard and drag the coins into the appropriate column. Guided Practice: 10 minutes We will go through a series of Smartboard slides together as a class where each slide has a different item. Call on a child to decide how much that item costs and write that number on the Smartboard. Then, call on children to come up to the board and show as many different ways to get the same amount as they can using the coins. (The coins are programmed so that the children can use as many of them as they may need). There are five different items we can go over together as a class. *Smartboard presentation has been modified from lesson provided by Hawk Ridge Elementary teacher, Emily Casabonne. Independent Practice: 15 minutes Students will each get an iPad that will be preset up with an app based on their ability. Our lower students will be working on the free Count Money by Horizon Business Inc. app. We can differentiate between individual students by adjusting the difficulty level and number of problems for each student. Our middle range children will use the free app Counting Money by Kings Apps. This game also allows for differentiation within the game. Our advanced children who need to be challenged more will work on the computers in the classroom. They will complete an Interactive Money Game which can be found on www.math-play.com/Money-Game/MoneyGame.html. This game also has them practicing with dollar bills.

10 minutes

Closure of the Lesson: 5 minutes Ask students again: Why is it important to know the value of coins? How do we manipulate change and reach a given value? Ticket Out: Tommy needs $1.24 to buy his milk at the grocery store. He only has a handful of coins with him. What coins could Tommy have in his pocket to make $1.24? Write down the coins he needs and a sentence telling what snack he could have with his milk. Have students record their answer and how they got it in their math journals. Evaluation/Assessment of Student Learning (Evidence Included) Formative: During the lesson, we will ask the students questions and take anecdotal notes of their answers to gauge their understanding. We can also record how far they get into the games and their accuracy level. Summative: At the end of the unit, we will give them a test on money to be evaluated for proficiency and mastery. Extension of Lesson: For the next lesson, if the students have mastered the concept of coins, we will introduce bills and their value ($1, $5, $10, $20). Again, we will provide ample opportunities for the children to practice manipulating the money as a class and independently.

Plans for Individual Differences Early Finishers: Early finishers can continue to play games on their assigned app or, if we deem it appropriate, we can move them up to the next level of independent practice. For example, a child in the low range may experiment with the app appropriate for a child in the middle range of ability. In addition, we will have worksheets (attached to Smartboard presentation) that the students can work on if they finish early. Late Finishers: Late finishers will get as far into the game as they can. We will take anecdotal notes during independent practice to see if these students understand the concept and that they could have finished the game given more time. If they have time later in the day, they may continue working

on the game. Exceptionalities: We will examine our students IEP or 504 to determine how to best accommodate their needs in this lesson. We can also have struggling students work with another student on the iPad who may understand the content a little better and can monitor how to do the game. We will pay extra attention to these students and aim to meet with them individually to monitor their progress. English Language Learners: During independent practice, our ELLs will work on the iPads on the free app Amazing Coin (USD). This application is a little easier and incorporates English words and spellings into the problems. We will also provide visual aids, such as the Smartboard presentation and practice money, to assist children still learning English. When teaching our lesson, we will aim to use repetition to build vocabulary and we will work with these children outside of the classroom. 21st Century Skills: Our lesson allows for students to be creative by allowing them to come up with their own combinations of coins. It also requires critical thinking, as the students must think about how to reach a given value and what is an appropriate value for the items. The children will be encouraged to collaborate with their ideas and share with each other their successes at the end of the lesson. Discuss how you address at least two of these learning styles in your lesson: Visual (spatial),
Verbal (linguistic), Physical (kinesthetic/tactile), Aural (auditory-musical), Logical (mathematical), Social (interpersonal), Solitary (intrapersonal):

Visual Visual learners will enjoy our Smartboard presentation, images and charts, and video. They will also love working on the iPads. Auditory/Verbal Auditory learners will like listening to the song at the beginning of our lesson. They will also benefit from the group discussion and conversation. Solitary Intrapersonal learners will love having the opportunity to work on their iPad independently and progress as far as they can in their game. Social Interpersonal learners will like working together as a class to label the coins and sort them. They will also thrive from the group conversations.
