1st Grade Math Lesson Plan

Dates: Feb 29-Mar 4, 2016 Patrick Copeland Elementary School Teachers: A. Hildreth, M. Delerme, M. Cook, S.
Goshay, V. Rafey, K. Holland, R. Redling
Standard (SOL):
1.7b Money determining values
1.5 review doubles/combos of 10

Objective (from curriculum framework): 1.7b The students will determine the value of a collection of pennies,
nickels, and dimes, whose total value is 100 cents or less
1.5 The student will recall basic addition facts with sums to 18 or less and the corresponding subtraction facts

Essential Knowledge/Questions: The students will develop an

understanding of place value by skip counting a collection of coins by
ones, fives, and tens. Students will count by fives tens and ones to
determine the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes
whose total value is less than 100 cents. The students will
demonstrate fluency with basic number combinations for addition and
subtraction.

Essential Vocabulary: coins, penny,

nickel, dime, cents, addition, subtraction,
equals

the starfish theater:
Pennies and Nickels
on the online math
series (7-3B)

TTW display an example problem

of a dime and a penny. Model
counting ten for the dime, and one
for the penny. Model writing the
total, 11 cents. Model several more
examples. TTW explain that when
counting dimes, we can skip count
by tens and then count on by ones to
figure out dime and penny
combinations. TTW roll a dice and
and have students take that number
of dimes fro the container and vice
versa for pennies. Have students
practice counting dime and penny
combinations and recording
amounts in their math notebooks.
Independent practice: Have students
participate in mat h stations and
small groups. (Students may play
the pot of coins game in a math
station)
TTW read the poem SMART by
Shel Silverstein. Students map the
poem as the teacher reads. TTW
distribute a blank piece of white
paper to each student. Have the
students fold the paper into 8ths.
Follow the attached plan for this
activity. At the conclusion of this
activity, TSW write a letter to the
boy in the poem kindly explaining
why he ended up with less money.

TTW have students answer

the following questions in
their math notebooks:
What is a quick way to count
dimes?
How do we count pennies
and dimes?
How can we differentiate
between a dime and a
penny?

Upon completion of the lesson, all students will demonstrate and

appropriate responses.

Have a few students share

their letters. Have students
participate in a think-pairshare activity and reflect on
the days lesson and what the
most important thing that
they learned.

Upon completion of this lesson, TTW use the students letters as a

form and explain to the boy why he ended up with less money.

child 3 notecards. On each card,
students draw a picture of an item
that they sell at the class store and
label it with the price that it costs.
