II.Grade Level: Kindergarten
III.Subtopic: Coin Recognition
IV.Standards (your state’s standard; must include the link where you found the standard):
Virginia K.7 The student will recognize a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter and will determine
the value of a collection of pennies and/or nickels whose total value is 10 cents or less.

V.Objective: Given instruction on the coins and their values, the student will match the coins
and their values with a 4/4 accuracy.
VI.Biblical/Character Education Principle: In this lesson, I plan on having a discussion
beforehand discussing what money is used for. During this time, the students will talk about
allowances or birthday money they have received. I will talk about how money is used for
groceries and toys but we should also use it to help others even if we don’t have very much. I
will refer to Luke 21:1-4 and explain how God appreciates someone who helps others
regardless if they have a lot or a little.
Materials: Smartboard, handouts, white paper, penny, quarter, dime, quarter, copper crayons,
silver crayons, large picture of a penny, large picture of a nickel, large picture of a quarter,
large picture of a dime, scissors, glue stick & chart for coins
Pre Assessment: Show the students the large depictions of the coins and ask them what they
are and how much they are worth.
Procedures:
A.Anticipatory Set:
To begin the lesson, we will sing a song called “Hey Honey-Bunny, I Know my
Money”
Informing learners of objective:
I will explain to the class we are learning about money, and have a small discussion
about money and allow the students to talk about how they get money. I will allow the
students to discuss their own money ideas. I will then explain what we use money for,
and what God wants us to use are money for. We will then move on to learning what
color each coin is, the size of each coin and their values. By the end of the lesson, the
students will know what to do with their money, which coin is the largest, which coin
is the smallest, and the values of each coin.

Independent Practice: The students will individually color, cut and glue the coins into
their appropriate values on the handouts provided.
Diversity/Differentiation for Exceptionalities:
1.Gifted: For gifted students, I would integrate how many dimes equal a dollar,
and a more complex concept of money.
2.LEP: I would offer additional instruction during the independent practice.
3.LD, ED, ADD: For students with a LD, I would keep the instructions simple
and guide the students through the lesson. For an ED student, I would want
them to follow along but allow them to continue at their own pace. For ADD, I
would ensure that they are following throughout the whole lesson and use
stopping points to ensure that they understand and are following along.
4.Multicultural Connections: I would discuss coins from other countries, and
how different money is all over the world.
D.Instruction:
1.Discuss with the class the values of each coin using the large depictions.
2.Show the real coins to the class and allow them to observe the coins. Show them that each coin
is different, quarters are the largest and dimes are the smallest.
3.Allow the students to do a rubbing of each coin at their desks sharing the coins amongst the
classroom.
4.Discuss with the class what they have noticed
5.Explain the values of each coin and show the large depiction on the smartboard
6.Sort the coins on the smartboard with their values
7.Allow other students to come up and sort the coins on the screen
8.Ask the students “Which would be easier to carry around, a dime or ten pennies?” Explain
how five pennies equals a nickel, two nickels equals a dime, and how ten pennies equals a
dime.
9.Distribute handout with coins on it. Have the students color the coins the correct colors, and
cut on the coins.
10.Distribute the handout with the values on it and have the students glue the coins in the box of
the correct handout.
A.Guided Practice: The students will play a sorting game on the smartboard, and
practice sorting the coins into their appropriate value places.
11.Closure: Close the lesson with questions by asking how much each coin is worth, which coin
is the largest, which coin is the smallest, which coin is worth the most, and which coin is
worth the least.

5.Learning Styles (Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic): The song will be
helpful to the auditory learners and the smartboard activity and coin props are
for the visual learners. The kinesthetic learners will be able to do hands-on
learning during the coin rubbing and the smartboard activity.
13.Technology Connection: Technology is used for the song that we sing at the
beginning and for the smartboard activity. The smartboard will have columns for the students
to sort the money by their values.
