Year 2 Mathematics Lesson Plan: Money

Lesson Duration

30 Minutes

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Identify different Australian coins and notes.
• Count total amounts of money using coins and notes.
• Understand the concept of giving change.

Materials Needed

• Australian coin and note replicas
• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets for practice
• Toy cash register (if available)

Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Engage the Students:
   • Begin by asking students if they have ever been to a store. Share a brief story about buying something special.
   • Show students various Australian coins (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2) and notes ($5, $10, $20, $50, $100), explaining their values.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

2. Teaching the Values:
   • Write the values of each coin and note on the whiteboard.
   • Discuss what items they can buy with different amounts of money (e.g., an apple for 50c, a toy for $10).
   • Introduce the concept of “making change.” Review how to count coins and notes to find the total and calculate change.

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

3. Interactive Activity:
   • Divide the class into small groups. Provide each group with replicas of coins and notes.
   • Ask each group to create a simple store where they can “buy” and “sell” items using the replicas.
   • Each student takes turns being the cashier and customer to practice counting money and giving change.
   • Walk around to assist groups and observe their interactions.

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

4. Worksheet Activity:
   • Hand out worksheets that include the following exercises:
     • Match the coin to its value.
     • Count the total amount of money in different scenarios.
     • Solve a simple problem involving giving change.

Wrap-Up (5 Minutes)

5. Review:
   • Gather the students and review what they learned about coins, notes, and making change.
   • Encourage students to share stories of money they have used or saved.
   • Address any questions and reinforce the importance of money in everyday life.

Homework

Tasks:

1. List 5 things you can buy with $5 or less.
2. Draw a coin or note and write its name and value next to it.
3. Create a simple shopping list with a total cost using different coins (e.g., 1 x 50c, 1 x $2) and calculate the total.

Correct Answers:

1. (Answers will vary; examples: an ice cream, a pencil, a piece of candy, a small toy)
2. (Students should draw a replica of any coin or note and write its value)
3. (Example:
   • Ice Cream: $2
   • Pencil: 50c
   • Total Cost: $2.50)

Assessment

• Observe students’ participation during group activities to assess their understanding.
• Review completed homework for accuracy.
