Exploring Money: Learning with 1c, 2c, and 5c Coins

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify 1c, 2c, and 5c coins and understand their value.

What do you already know about money?

Introduction to Money

Money is used to buy things we need and want. It helps us exchange goods and services. We use coins and notes to represent money.

Identifying Coins

1c, 2c, and 5c coins have different sizes, shapes, and colors. Let's learn to identify each of these coins.

Coin Values

Each coin has a different value. 1c is the smallest, followed by 2c and then 5c. We can use these coins to buy things.

Group Activity: Coin Sorting

Divide into groups and sort a mix of 1c, 2c, and 5c coins into separate piles. Discuss as a class after completing the activity.

Collaborative Learning: Shopping Game

Create a pretend 'shop' with items priced in 1c, 2c, and 5c. Use play money to 'buy' items and practice making change.

Practical Application

Think about something you would like to buy. How much would it cost in 1c, 2c, and 5c coins? Draw or write about it.

Recap and Conclusion

Today, we learned about different coins and their values. We also practiced using them in a pretend shop. Well done, everyone!

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
