Title of E-Book Lesson: Let's Make a Deal

Primary Learning Outcome (PLO):
The primary learning outcomes to be achieved with this lesson include:
A. With teacher guidance student will be able to identify coins by name and value and use different combinations of the coins to purchase items less than thirty cents.

 

Assessed Standards
Georgia Performance Standard (GPS)
Mathematics Performance Standard
Grade: K
Numbers and Operations
MKN1. Students will connect numerals to the quantities they represent.
h. Identify coins by name and value (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter).
i. Count out pennies to buy items that together cost less than 30 cents.

Materials and Equipment:
1. Have an example of e-book activity to show students
2. Paper for drawing
3. Crayons and/or color markers
4. Pencil & paper (to make notes for lesson plan assessment and reflections)
5. Modification of a  lesson developed by Dr. Diane L. Judd
 

Technology Connection:
Technologies that will be used in this lesson include:


Procedures:
Step One: Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer.  Explain to students that you are going to use the computer to read an e-book about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  List 2 or more questions that introduce students to your e-book that will establish a connection to students' prior knowledge by asking them:
1. "Have you ever studied or read a book about coins?
2. "Can you tell me the value of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter?"  
Today we are going to learn about coins and their value on the Internet.  I have made a special e-book on the Internet for your class.  (During discussion have students turn around away from the computer to interact.)

Estimated Time for Step One:
5 minutes

Step Two Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes:
(Students will sit at the computer where they can control the mouse and computer.)  (Explain to students the process of the lesson.)  After we read the e-book and visit several websites about coins, we will complete an activity about money and it's value.

Check for understanding
Students with teacher assistance will read the e-book, explore, and discuss the information in the four linking websites that go with the e-book.  Ask students guiding questions about the important concepts in the e-book and/or the linking websites.   List four or more questions.
1.  How much is a penny worth?
2.
  How much is a nickel worth?
3.  How much is a dime worth?
4.  How much is a quarter worth?

Practice and feedback related to the PLO
Read the e-book project to students.  Explain to students that they are going to be shoppers in a store that sells school supplies.  They will shop for school supplies without spending more than the thirty cents they are given.  Tell the students that the information that they will need to complete their e-book project is listed and connected in the e-book activity.  Review the information in the linked website in the e-book activity with the students to emphasize interesting and important information students will need to complete mission project.


E-Book Activity
Now that you know all about money, let's take a trip to the store!  This store carries pencils, erasers, crayons, notebooks, and many other school supplies.  You will be given thirty cents to spend on anything you want.  Choose wisely, and have fun at the store!
Steps for E-Book Activity

1. Pretend you are going to the store to buy some school supplies. 

2. Choose one item from the store to buy.

3. Pay the cashier for the item you are buying, and take your change.

4. After you have bought something from the store, tell your teacher the name of the item you bought, how much it was, and how much change you received.  She or he will write you a receipt to turn in.



[Students will write (or dictate to teacher) information to be included on their store receipt for the e-book project.  While students are completing e-book project, teacher will observe students and give assistance when needed.]

Estimated Time for Step Two:
35 minutes

Step Three
Closure:
Have students discuss their e-book activity and information they found on the Internet.  Tell students that your E-Book Website is on the Internet and they can visit the website at school or home.  Explain to students that you are going to put their pictures and information on the Internet and they will be able to share their mission projects with their friends and family.  (If possible teacher should take brief notes during the lesson and concluding discussions to be added later to the assessment and reflections in lesson plan.)

Estimated Time for Step Three:
5 minutes

Accommodation:
Links for Accommodations for Special Students
1. After completing the contextual factors for your class, select one of your students that needs special attention.  Describe the student in your class with special needs. (Do not use the student's real name.  You could refer to the student as "the special student.")  Describe your student and his or her needs.

2. Explain what you would add to this lesson plan to accommodate your special student?  Explain what you would add to this lesson to accommodate your special student.

Assessment the Primary Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
Mathematics
Student will be assessed through observation, whether or not they give the cashier enough money for their item, and whether or not they can correctly count the change they were given.  The student will also be assessed on how well they listen and gain knowledge to teacher guidance if they are confused or struggling.
