Students will learn to identify coins by name. They will learn the values of coins. Students will learn to sort and match coins to values. By the third class students will be able to add and identify equivalent amounts. These skills will culminate in class four where we will create equivalent amounts up to one dollar. My students will be encouraged to speak and engage in class and speak with the teacher. They will be provided with many opportunities to use opinions and problem solve through a variety of fun games, activities, and conversations.

I am offering this class to help students develop a foundational knowledge of money and financial literacy. I hope my students will walk away from this course with the abilty to identify coins and their values. More importantly, I hope my students will develop an understanding of where money comes from and how money is used by people in their daily lives. Problem solving and decision making skills will be used as students are introduced to the concepts of spending and saving.
