Grade:5/6 Lesson Title: Introduction to Money Date: Jan 24, 2012

Strand / Curriculum Expectations Number Sense and Numeration

• read, represent, compare, and order whole numbers to 100 000, decimal numbers toHundredths

– read and write money amounts to $1000 (e.g., $455.35 is 455 dollars and 35 cents, or four hundred fifty-five dollars and thirty-five cents);

-estimation, rounding to the nearest dollarWhat do students need to know and be able to do? (consider prior knowledge based in curriculum)

• add and subtract money amounts by making simulated purchases and providing change for amounts up to $100, using a variety of tools

Learning GoalsContent:

To be able to read and write money amounts to $1000

Process:

To use their problem solving skills using estimation

Oral Communication:

-discuss effective strategies-clarify their thinking-further thinking

Do the math (anticipate different strategies students may try) Anticipated Consolidation Highlights and Summary (what skills does each strategy emphasize)

- Estimation- Rounding- Repeat addition- Multiplication

As a group, create a back to school supply list for one person using the above list. What is the total cost for these supplies?

Scaffolding Questions How else can you represent this?How are these ___the same or different?If I do ____, what will happen?How can you prove your answer or verify your estimate?How do you know?Have you found all the possibilities? How could you arrive at the same answer in a different way?

About how much would your whole group spend on school supplies?

Our class? (26 students)

All the grade 5s and 6s? (there are 200 students or 6 classrooms)

The whole school? (600 students)

After / Consolidation / Reflecting and ConnectingWhat work will be shared?What skills will be highlighted?How will connections be explicitly emphasized?

- Group that missed parts of what the question was asking

- Groups that discussed the multiplication of their findings.

- Instead of going step by step when calculating are there any other methods?-questioning the results-what is a reasonable way to check your calculation?

-What are the consequences of rounding?If you are rounding everything, what possible problems could come about?

-proper format when writing out amounts

- What did you think about the costs of the whole school?

- What do you think our school budget is like?

- Range=$59.00 - $111- =$52

Scaffolding Questions:

How is this solution similar or different from this one?

What have you learned today?

Consolidation Exit Card/ReflectionHow will we know who really learned this?

How did estimating help with your problem solving?

What were some challenges that you and your group faced?
