Anticipation Guide
We will introduce the topic of money by showing them this video on a laptop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnXJGNo08v0. Then I will ask the children if they have ever gone to the store to buy something and we will talk about it for a little.

Questions
• How much is a quarter, dime, nickel, and penny worth?
• How much is each of these bills worth? (Show them dollar bills)
• What is the total of two pennies?
• What are the total of three dimes and a nickel?

Guided Practice
I will hand out real money to the children and ask them to show me each bill, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Then we will ask the children to show us a penny and then will ask them to tell us how much a penny is worth. We will do this will all of the coins. Then we will explain the game that we are going to play.

Group Activity/ Independent Practice
We will play a game together. The children will be able to use a big dice and throw it. The dice will have each coin on the side rather than dots. They will each get a few turns to throw it. Then whatever it lands on I will ask the children what a penny is worth if it lands on a penny and so on. Independent Practice The children will be given worksheets so they can further practice their coin knowledge. Then they will color the coins as an activity. Here is what they will be doing and the pages they will be using.


Review
We will all come back together in the last few minutes of class and we will discuss the coins and dollar bills again. I will again show the different coins and have the class tell me what they are.

Differentiated Instruction
Make sure the students are seated where they feel most comfortable to speak. Then let all the children answer questions since it is a smaller group. Help one on one children when they do independent practice and teach them what they have missed so all the children are on the same page.
