Lesson Plans: Expressing Money (Elementary, Mathematics) - 1 views

  • Materials Required: paper, pencials, Book: Alexander, Who USed to be rich last sunday Activity Time: 30 minutes Concepts Taught: expressing money in different ways
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Adaptations: Gifted students can show the sum multiple ways (using different currency) or write the equation for the addition or subtraction problem. EL Students can draw a picture of the currency needed to represent the sum. Other manipulatives can be used with this activity with the amount written in cents or dollars on the manipulatives.

      This activity can be used with other manipulatives that are labeled with the coin amounts. This activity connects math and LA. Adaptations include: require gifted students to show 3-5 ways to represent the sum using different currency or give the equation. EL students can draw a picture to represent the coins used.

    Expressing money in different ways - 2nd Grade (dollar, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies) Materials: bags of play money that have an equal amount for each student, paper, and pencils for each student book: Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday Objective: after reviewing the names of coins and bills and how much they are worth, grade 2 students will listen to a book read to them by their teacher and express the amount of money stated with their manipulative of play money and show different ways to express that amount of money.  (i.e. 10=10=5=25)

Play Pennies, Dimes, Dollar! | Education.com - 1 views

  • counting
  • This game allows kids to explore three primary math concepts in one: by moving pennies into the tens column, your child enacts the idea of “place value”—“ones,” “tens,” “hundreds,” and so on. By counting up to $1.00, your child practices moving around on the number line…

      Extensions: This activity can connect math with art (using pictures of currency)  This activity also incorporates a real world skill - counting money. Adaptations: Gifted student can use other coins not mentioned to reach goal of $1.00.  ESL students can draw pictures of currency to understand value of money used and use chart to understand place value.  Special Ed students can have more time to count and be paired with another peer.

Show Me the Money! A Math Guessing Game | Education.com - 1 views

  •  
    Great for having lower grade level student recognize money and values. Start by putting all the coins in front of your student, and ask him/her to sort all pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and the half dollar into their own groups. Talk about value as you go.

      To extend this project, have students add and subtract rolls to come to a final answer. ie: the first roll is a quarter, the second roll is a dime, the total would be $0.35

    Cube Toss Money: Students roll a 6-sided cube with coin stickers on each side. They must identify the coin and give its value, then record the toss on a sheet.

Coin Connection: A Patterning Game | Education.com - 1 views

      This activity can be adjusted for different ranges of ability. Students who have a good understanding of patterning could pair up with eachother and try to challenge one another into figuring out their patterns. You could also use different manipulatives instead of money, for instance for the students who are less adapt at patterning you may use cubes of different colors and then they could see the pattern easier. For ELL students you could use money from their home country that they may recognize.

Structures: Building Activities for Kids | Exploratorium - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      After exploring as a group, have students build a structure at home that they believe is the most structurally sound as well as tallest possible. The guidelines for this project are as follows: The stucture can only be made out of spaghetti and marshmallows.The budget for thier structure is $200 (not real money). Each marshmallow (hypothetically) costs $10 and each strand of uncooked spaghetti costs $5. The structure must hold a stuffed gorilla that weighs 5 oz. The tallest structure wins. My sister's kids do this project. It is required for 4th and 5th graders, but it is open to the whole school. Her kids have been doing it since 1st grade and love it. Every year they try a new design and take pictures of models past.
  •  
    This website shows you how to explore different structures and answer the question, which supports the most weight, trauma, wind? and what purpose do they all serve.

    This sounds very interesting! I enjoy hearing about projects that keep the students' interest year after year.

      you can adapt this lesson for different levels by chaniging the amount of salary depending on level....Ex: 1 cent starting with lower levels and $100 for students at higher levels.

      you could extend this activity for KG or 1st grade by simplifying the worksheets and the senerios to an easier level. This would be a great way to introduce money and show real world representations.

      this lesson would be great for special needs students to give them visual aids used to help them relate and understand math in the real world
    • Jessica Buell
       
      This activity could be extended to other grades in a variety of ways. For example, you could use it to teach place value for first grade using money, or teaching how to count change for kingergarten. Also, you could set up a class store and demonstrate positive and negative intergers pretending to "shop" for items in the classroom, this cold be a great 3rd grade activity. You could make a "grocery list" and give them a spending amount and demonstrate - or + integers!

Pennies and Dimes on a Piggy Bank bulletin board - 1 views

  • pennies and dimes on a piggy bank bulletin board I also count the first 100 days of school. On a bulletin board I have a pig pink piggy bank cut out. Everyday we put up a penny (velcro spots on the bulletin board and on back of large paper coins). When we get 10 pennies, I take them down, change to a dime and stick it in the bank. Everyday we count the money orally. I teach first grade, and this really seemed to help last year. vicki dugan, 10/29/00 on teachers.net primary elementary board

      I really, really liked this idea, and actually thought it would be fun to save for a goat to send to Haiti (Beatrice's Goat) as part of our Kindness and Justice challenge.

      This would be a wonderful connection to literature and a service learning project. Are you familiar with the counting rice website where the students calculate math problems while earning rice for people living in third world countries?
  •  
    I would modify this idea to include nickels and quarters also.  The students add one penny for each day.  When ten pennies accumulate, a dime is substituted.  Perhaps they add a nickel for each rainy day until five nickels accumulate (and a quarter is substituted.)  We would skip count by fives and tens (depending on what we have on our piggy) until we can total our amount.  Each day we will accumulate more of each.
