This is the full-screen view

of the entire Prezi
Presentation that is used as a
model for instruction to
teach grade 2 word problems
with money.
The learning objective is:
Students can become
familiar with how much
each type of coin and dollar
bill are they worth, and learn
how to use strategies such as
addition to solve a word
problem.
Lets begin the lesson!

This slide helps reintroduce

what money looks like by
providing visuals of coins
and dollars.
Also, this slide is a great
moment to remind them that
they are looking at money.
Connect money by
discussing how money is
used in their daily life.
During the discussion write
what they say on the board.

Here is a visual of each coin

used in the United States.
Students should have white
boards or a piece of paper.
Ask students to quietly
write down how much each
of these coins are worth
individually.
Next, go over each coin.
Ex. This is a quarter, it is
worth 25 cents.

Phrases in a word problem

are something students need
to be aware of.
This will help them
recognize important phrases
that are used often in a word
problem.
Ex. More= Addition +
Less= Subtraction -

An interactive resource
can help guide a lesson.
Here is a YouTube video
that at each pit stop in the
car race, the student
should learn how to solve
the answer properly to
complete the race.

Solving the problem:

Add the $10 Sue made with
students eight times, equals
$80.
Next, explain to add the ones
value of change which equals
24. Students should know that
the 4 goes down by the ones
place, and the 2 gets carried
over. Continue adding in the
tens value to find out that the
total would become $2.64 in
change that Sue made all day.

***Correction in video it
states 5+3=11 NO
8+3=11

Pause for a moment in the

lesson to recollect thoughts
for yourself and the students.
Allow students to consider
what is next. Now that we
know Sue made a total
worth of $80, and her coins
added up to a total of $2.64.
What is next step to solve
the total amount of money
she made today?

This is the last step where as a

class, students and teacher can
find the total amount of money
Sue has made today. Align the
money values in the proper
place value. Next, add each
number in its place value to
find out that Sue made $82.64.
Ask students if they have any
questions.
Next, give them a worksheet
to do individually to be
corrected by the teacher to see
if the learning objective was
met.
