Grade Level Third Grade

Learning Objective Mathematics

3.8 The student will determine, by counting, the value of a
collection of bills and coins whose total value is $5.00 or less,
compare the value of the bills and coins, and make change.
Pedagogy

Activity
1) In preparation for the standard to be learned, the question
will be posed to the students about how counting money
differs from counting numbers. Is it different? Is counting
time different? How do we represent these values to show
a difference?
2) A review of vocabulary terms to be used in this lesson and
subsequent lessons. Terms: greater than, less than, equal,
value, change, difference, bill, coin, skip counting, and
money.
3) Distribute play money, just bills, so every student has the
same amount. Select several items of varying costs, for
example video game for $45.00, and the students will need
to count out the exact amount from their total amount of
money. Once all items have been stated, the teacher will
check to see if each student has the correct amount of
money left.
4) The teacher demonstrates how to count a large amount of
coins using the push-pull method on a projector. He/she
can also use skip-counting. Starting with the coins of the
greatest value and working towards the least value, repeat
until everything is counted and as many times as needed
for that amount of money
5) Center activities:
- Pretend bank teller activity- group activity where one
person is the “first teller” and counts an amount of money
first, but only writes in down. The rest of the group does
the same. After everyone counts, compare the results.
-Calculating the difference-having students calculate the
difference between $5.00 and a purchase price.
-BrainPOP Jr activities: Counting Coins, Dollars and Cents,
Equivalent Coins. These are specific games/lessons
specifically designed to this SOL standard.
-Book Fair: use a book fair advertisement to have students
calculate how much they could buy when a certain amount
 of money and how much would be left over after
purchasing that book.
-On your EduBlog discuss the following prompts: 1) why is
it important for you to know the correct change you should
get when paying for something that costs less than $5.00?
2) how many different combinations of coins can you think
of to get 37 cents? List three here.

Differentiation: calculators, grid paper, allow larger amounts of

change on certain problems, use virtual coins if SPD is present.
