 * Math Lesson**

1) Grade 1, Simple counting of pennies, nickels, and dimes.

2) Objectives - - Students will understand coins and be able to add coin amounts of pennies, nickels, and dimes. -Students will use problem solving to determine amounts of change.

3) Assessment Criteria and instrument Lesson Plan**** Original Assessment

4) Analysis of data - Students 1 and 2 show that they understand the content of the questions. They counted by 5's or 10's respectively to get their answers. Most of the students in the class had papers similar to these. A lot of the students did not understand the last question because of the way it was worded. For student 3, we see that they had some idea of what they were doing. They knew to add the two amounts, but did not relate the numbers to the coin amounts.

5) Student Work Student Work 1 Student Work 2 Student Work 3

6) For the whole class, I would spend more time on the value of coins and how to count them. In the beginning of the lesson it seemed like a lot of the class was confused about the difference between the three coins.

7) For students one and two I would probably complete one more lesson on these coins before moving on, to ensure that these students had a complete understanding of the material. For student 3 I would try to use a different method to help them to understand the value of the coins and that you have to count by 5's and 10's for nickels and dimes.
