Class Experience

This class will begin with a discussion about why we count money and what students already know about different coins.  We will talk about each of the 4 main US coins and what makes each coin unique.  Students will observe their own coins as the teacher shows a variety of coins on the screen.  Different hands-on activities, songs and games will be used to help students remember the names and values of each coin.  Students will also practice counting a group of mixed coins within $1 using the touch dot method.  As a teacher, I have found this strategy to be very helpful, especially for active kinesthetic learners. 

*Students should already know how to count by 5's.*
