**Title: Money**

**Subject and Grade Level: Math/Second Grade**

**Goal**: Students will be able to count the value of a set of coins with accuracy. **Objectives**: Students will identify and describe the relative values of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. Students will find groups of coins that have the same value as 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, and 1 dollar. = **Standards Alignment**: = =__Content Standards:__= =**7A**: Students who meet the standard can measure and compare quantities using appropriate units, instruments, and methods.= =5. Identify units of money and the value of each.= =6. Count like sets of coins.= = = =__NETS.S__= =__**Creativity and Innovation**__= =Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.= = = =__**Communication and Collaboration**__= =Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.= = **Initial Engaging Activity** (this activity would take a class period): To introduce a unit on money, I would first show students an untrue picture of money. I would have students to pair up with a partner and discuss what is wrong with the picture. After discussing with a partner, I would have them write down a few sentences in their math notebook to explain what is wrong with this picture. Once they are done, I would show two short money videos from you tube to help reintroduce the concept. Then I would read aloud __Once Upon a Dime: A Math Adventure__ by Nancy Kelly Allen. This story, along with the videos, is a great way to reintroduce the relative value of coins to second graders. After the read aloud, we would revisit the untrue picture and discuss as a class why it is an untrue picture. I would reiterate what was mentioned in the money videos and the read aloud by stating that Quarters are woth 25 cents. Inform students that the quarter is the largest coin with the greatest value of 25 cents.= =Then I would have children to figure out why the last coin should not be there. I would explain that it shouldn't be there because it is a Nickel and Nickels are only worth 5 cents. It takes 4 Quarters to make 1 dollar, NOT 3 quarters and a nickel. Also, I would point out to the students that nickels are not the same size as quarters and that nickels are smaller than quarters. Nickels also have a smoother edge, whereas quarters have rough edges. Once we are done discussing why the picture is untrue, I would have students to check what they wrote in their math notebooks to see if they were right about the untrue picture.=

**Concept Development** (This activity would take 7 days):A Prezi would be presented to my students to expand upon the money concept. It will show the value of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter. Through Prezi, videos, and coin manipulatives, students will learn that we count pennies by 1, nickels by 5, dimes by 10, and quarters by 25. Children will also learn that different sets of coins can be used to get the same amount of money. Students will also learn how to count a mixed group of coins. Show a video on counting mixed coins. Have children pair up with coin manipulatives and have them think of two ways they can make 5 cents, 10, cents, 20 cents, and 25 cents. Tell them to start with the coins of the greatest value.

Pair students up with each other to find different ways they can come up with 50 cents and 75 cents. Have each pair share the sets of coins they used with the class. Record Responses. Important Questions to Pose: How many pennies could I use to make 25 cents? Have children find other ways to make 25 cents How many dimes could I use to make 50 cents? Have children find other ways to make 50 cents How many quarters could I use to make 75 cents? Have children find other ways to make 75 cents How many quarters could I use to make 1 dollar? Have children find other ways to make 1 dollar

**Reinforcing Activity** (this activity would take 2 days): Have children revisit the untrue picture on voice thread. Have students to comment on why the picuture is untrue. Have students pair up with a partner to use GoAnimate.com to create a story to show different ways to come up with 100 cents. Then I would have students to complete an Independent Practice Activity Sheet on Counting Mixed Coins.

__**Commentary - Team Rachel and Jen C.**__ Suggestions:
 * Maybe just revisit the untrue picture once instead of twice. Maybe just use a different picture to reinforce the same concept.
 * Break down lessons into discrete class periods so the flow is better understood.
 * Space out the videos throught lessons so they aren't shown all at the same time.

Acknowledgements:
 * Great videos. We think the kids would LOVE the songs.
 * The Prezi is laid very well and is clearly designed so students understand the concept being taught.
 * Your questioning techniques are really good! (even beyond the multimedia)
 * Another teacher could easily implement the lesson.
