LESSON PRESENTATION [during the lesson]: The following steps are designed to prepare students to be successful in the summative evaluation at the end of the lesson.

Set [Introduce lesson concept.]

There will be discussion in the class about the source of money and what it looks like. The students will also learn about what the money is used for then return to their seats. Students will be put in tables and every table should get a bag of coins. The students will engage in a coin rubbing activity. Under every coin the students need to write the value using decimal points and the correct format.

Teacher Instruction

The goal is to get students to learn how to save money and the importance of having it. The teachers would need to know the correct change and dollar amount. The students need to know how to count their money and change instead of relying on calculators.

Teacher Modeling

It is important as a class to read Alexander Who Use to be Rich Last Sunday. Every tune that a dollar amount is read I will be having pauses where students write the amounts on their white boards. The students will show me the answers that they have written on their whiteboards. The activity will continue this way until the story ends. There will also be a comparison of notes to determine the bigger ones and the smaller ones.

Guided Student Practice [formative assessment]:

Five groups of four students each

The students will start by working on computers on the Cash Out website. Once students learn and master a level thy are given directions to go up to a higher level. Students can only go up after they master one level.

Students will also be required to write what they have learned in their journals. The students will also be required to narrate what they learned about money and how they can save it.

Independent Student Practice [formative assessment – practice for summative assessment]:

Once one feels that they have a good understanding of the lesson, they will be provided with two worksheets. One sheet will require them to determine the correct amount of change after reading a word problem the second sheet will require them to circle the correct bills or coins that equal the dollar amount shown.

Closure [Review lesson concept and character principle.]:

The students will gather in a circle and talk about the importance of money and counting it correctly. The students will also be required to share times when they have earned money and when they have made payments.

Summative Assessment [Measure performance of each individual student]:

Every student will be given a short quiz of 10 questions that needs to be complicated. The quiz will involve matching and writing answers. The students will also be asked personally to ensure they comprehend the material.
