Closing the Gap on Coin Knowledge

An ADDIE approach

ADDIE APPROACH

There are 5 components to the instructional design of

the ADDIE approach: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.

Analyze, Design, and Develop serves as the

“meat and potatoes” of the process.

Purpose

• Why did I choose the topic of Kindergarten students and coin knowledge?– Each year, there is a discrepancy in the number of students

who are able to master the standard of coin knowledge. Only 38% of students mastered the GPS standard of identifying coins and its value, resulting in only 24% mastering the GPS standard for making fair trades.

• My purpose?– The purpose of this project is to introduce kindergarten

students to coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter) and make fair trades using pennies, nickels, and dimes.

Student AttitudesEager to learn new things, learn best through songs and hands-on learning

Skills needed to impact learningCounting, one-to-one correspondence, coin identification, value of coins

Design & Develop

Design• Students will identify coins

by name and value through money poems, songs, worksheets and coin games.– (2.5 weeks)

• Students will make fair trades through fair trade lessons and “Roll for” games using 5 and 10 frames.– (1.5 weeks)

Develop• 4 week lesson plan on coin

identification and making fair trades.

• Should be done in sequential order because coin identification and value is a prerequisite to making fair trades.
