Students' Products of Mini-Reasearch eBook Activity Lesson 2

Student 1 was given a shopping list of items needed.  The student went to the store I created in the classroom, located the item on the list, and counted out coins to match the price on the price tag.  This student is a kindergartener. Student 1 needed a little guidance but caught on very quickly.  Soon, Student 1 was able to complete the worksheet independently.  With this student, I did not have to modify any of the prices. I asked Student 1 why he or she used three dimes to represent $0.30.  Student 1 was able to tell me that they remembered that dimes were like counting by three's and that 3 dimes made $0.30.

Student 2 was given a shopping list of items needed.  The student went to the store I created in the classroom, located the item on the list, and counted out coins to match the price on the price tag.  This student is a kindergartener. Student 2 did not need my guidance.   The student understood combining coins.  She was able to correctly present the amount of coins asked for.  With this student, I did not have to modify any of the prices. When I asked Student 2 how he or she came up with their coin combinations (i.e., a nickel and four pennies to represent $0.09), they were able to say that they knew a nickel was worth $0.05 and pennies were worth $0.01.
