Money
Students sort a handful of coins. How have you sorted them? Discuss.
What are the features of the coins?
-size
-colour
-animal
-value, numbers
Using the coins, order these in lines. (This can create a pictograph)
Count how many coins in each line?
Does anyone know the total of each line?
How do we calculate this?
Can we find the number of 10s in each of the coins?
Can we add these together?
Using the handful of coins, sort them into value groups/lines.
Refer to slide 3
Enabling: Choose two coins from your pile. What do you notice? Which coin has the greatest value? Which coin has the least value? Trace around them. Circle the coin with the greatest value..
Mid: Place them in order from least to most value. What do you notice? Trace around them. Record the values of each coin and how many you have. Can you add each line to get the total?
Extending: Create a pictograph to record your coins. Can you add up the total of each line? Can you add up all your coins?
