Materials Needed

Introduction (5 minutes)

  1. Engage Students: Start with a question. "What do you use to buy things?" Allow students to share their thoughts and experiences about money.
  2. Explain Currency: Introduce different types of coins and notes while displaying play money. Explain the value of each coin (1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents) and note ($1, $5, $10).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

  1. Value Recognition: Show students how to count different denominations. For example:
    • 3 coins of 25 cents = 75 cents
    • 2 notes of $5 = $10
  2. Making an Amount: Demonstrate how to make specific amounts using different combinations of coins and notes. Example:
    • How to make 87 cents using coins.

Guided Practice (5 minutes)

  1. Group Activity: Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of play money. Ask them to come up with different combinations of coins that add up to a specific amount (e.g., $1.00).
  2. Collaborative Learning: Circulate around the classroom to assist groups if needed.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

  1. Worksheet Distribution: Hand out worksheets with money-related problems. Examples include:
    • If you buy a toy for $5.00 and you pay with a $10 bill, how much change will you get back?
    • You have three quarters, how much money do you have in total?
  2. Self-Check: Allow students to work independently and then review answers as a class.

Mock Store Activity (5 minutes)

  1. Set Up a Mock Store: Create a simple store at the front of the classroom with a few items (drawings or real items) and assign prices using play money.
  2. Role-Playing: Have students take turns being the customer and the cashier. Encourage them to use play money for their transactions.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

  1. Review Key Concepts: Go over the different types of money, how to count it, and how to use it for purchasing items.
  2. Q&A Session: Allow students to ask questions or share their thoughts about money and what they learned.
  3. Exit Ticket: As students leave, ask them to name one thing they can buy with $5 and one thing they learned today about money.
