Money

This lesson was created as a review lesson for kindergarteners. It reviews with them how much a penny, nickel, and dime are worth. It is a fun piggy bank activity where children interact in a group setting. It begins with some direct instruction and then goes into a whole group/partner activity. It is important for children at this age to learn and understand how much these coins are worth because it is a vital math skill. This lesson is a fun and engaging way to review our U.S. currency.

 

Concept/Topic: Money Review   

Grade: Kindergarten   

Teaching Time Needed: 15 Minutes

Goal/Purpose of the Lesson:

            The purpose of this lesson is to help the students review U.S. currency for their upcoming test.

 Conclusion of Lesson:

I.  Have the students put all of the

a. Pennies in their bank

b. Nickels in their bank

c.  Dimes in their bank

Review/Summary of the lesson:

I. Hold up each of the large coins and ask the students:

a. What coin is this?

b. How much is this worth?

II. Remind the students that they have a test tomorrow and they will need to:

a. Identify the different coins

b. Write how much the coins are worth

 Homework:

  • Have the students go home and review which coin is the penny, nickel, and dime, and how much each is worth with their parents.
  • Have them practice counting coins by counting all of the pennies, nickels, and dimes in their piggy banks at home.

Differentiated Learning Activities:

  • For the students who are advanced I can give them more coins and more challenging amounts to count and make.
  • For students who are struggling I can give them fewer coins so they do not get confused and can still represent the different amounts.
  • If the Velcro is to difficult for the student they can simply lay the coins on the piggy bank
  • If the coins are too small for the student to grasp I can provide them with larger, thicker coins for them to use.

Assessment Plan:

  • Walk around while children are working to check that they are completing the activity correctly and understand the material.
  • Have each table hold up their piggy banks after each problem to check that thy arrived at the correct answer.
  • Call on students to fill in the piggy bank on the board and answer questions to check for understanding.
