Notes
Include summary of how principle is addressed, if
applicable. Suggest whether you think it should be
addressed, and how you recommend improving the
material.
Offers the ability to watch, listen, touch the coins in several
different ways such as a video, holding the actual coins
and exploring them, listening to the teacher and the video.
The video has closed captioning and the teacher is
demonstrating on a projector what she is saying about
each coin.
The video sound is on, the teacher is describing
information about the coin, the students are discussing
things about the coins such as amount or description.
The students will watch a video describing the coins,
discuss what they know about coins and paying, rewatch
the video, and then the teacher will directly explain again
Discuss what we know, watch video, discuss again and
clarify, rewatch video, work with a partner
The teacher explains again what exactly the video was
talking about and the students are given tactile coins
Images and video used, but could add names of coins in
different languages and mention that there are different
types of money across the world.
Uses video, projector, touch of real items
Asks students what they already know about money and
describe what types of money there is and what you use
money for
Rewatch the video about money, reinforce how much each
coin is worth and what they look like
The teacher is guiding discussion and leading information
pieces while having the students teach each other as a
review
 The students rewatch the video about money, the teacher
gives the students each their own coin to review and
3.4 Maximize transfer and generalization

material.
The students discuss as a class, the teacher leads
instruction, the video gives instruction, the students
give instruction to their peers, the students are able to
explore the coins on their own
Each individual student is given their own coin to
manipulate. This could be improved by having a larger
size coin of each that is more raised and shown easily
to the class.
Uses a video, projector, communication, closed
captioning
Sorting, tactile
Whole class discussion, teacher led instruction, peer
to peer instruction, and then individual work and
assessment
Lesson begins with learning what the coins are and
how much they are worth and builds to how to add
coins
The teacher supports the students with sorting and
learning what each coin is by building upon one
another
Gives ways for children to decide which child was
going to teach the other child first about a certain topic
of the coin
The teacher uses both formative and summative
assessments to monitor each student and how they
are progressing

This is not presented in this lesson but it could be added
by having the students choose what coin they want to
describe to their peer
Describes what money is used for and is building to
determine how to combine coins to pay for things that are
not equal to just one coin
The students are paired off, the teacher leads large group
interactions
The objectives clearly match what the lesson is and how it
is being taught
Each student receives their own coin of each coin, partner
up students to teach each other
The students discuss in large group about coins and then
work with a partner to teach each other
The teacher has the students sort the coins, hold up a
card to answer questions, buy and check out with their
coins
Teaches the students how to reanswer the question they
did not answer correctly
This is not shown in this lesson but could be added by
giving each student a rating card as an exit slip to have
them say how confident they feel about what they have
learned
