9.05-9.20








9.20-9.25
Class begins with discussion/questioning between the teacher/students,
revisiting previous lesson outcomes to determine what students remem-
ber; what they need to learn further.

Advise students of the lesson planto engage in learning about
currency that consists of Australian coins.

MAIN
ACTIVITY 1:
What is money?
Which coins can students recognise? - Students name them.
Who can name some money we use? (coins; notes; 5c; 10c; 20c;
50c; $1.00)
How do we know we can use the money on the IWB, in Australia
and not in America?
How many ones/units/tens are in the .5c/10c/20c/50c/$1.00 coins?
Students learn that money can be expressed with symbols:
-c = cent $= dollar
and use either numbers and/or words to represent amounts
.5c five cents .10c ten cents

Students view a YouTube Coin Rap song about Australian coins
(Students will learn the coin rap to present at a school assembly later in
the school year.)
Coin Rap Lyrics
My name is 5 cents and I like to get down,
I'm the smallest of the coins but the coolest in town.
An echidna's on my side and I'm rocking this joint,
While I cannot buy much, that's really not the point.

I'm a 10 cent coin, yeah haven't you heard,
If you fip me on my back you'll see a lyre bird.
I can buy a single lolly or something else small,
But don't judge me by my size coz I'm prety awesome y'all.

The second biggest coin is me, the 20 cents,
Yeah you'll fnd me in the wallets of the ladies and the gents.
The platypus right on me is the way I'm recognised,
And I'm not too big or small which makes me a perfect size.

Yo, how you goin' dudes, I'm a 50 cent coin,
You can see I'm prety big which is sometmes quite annoyin'.
I have twelve sides and I wear the Coat of Arms,
I'm a legend yes you know it, coz I've really got the charm.

What's up my boys and girls, introducing me the dollar,
My gold and shiny surface adds a litle bit of colour.
There are many kangaroos a hoppin' on my sides,
Yeah I'm happy to be me coz I'm doin' mighty fne.

Hey there all you fellas, two dollars is my name,
I'm small but worth a lot and know how to play the game.
If I'm in your purse or wallet you can buy a lot you see,
Now just look on my side check out the Aborigine.

LESSON PLAN 4
Unit/Topic: Money, money, money: Part 1
Key Learning Area: Mathematics; English; ICT
Year Level: 2
Lesson Outcomes:
As a follow on from skip counting, students begin to explore money and counting using skip counting on and back, as well as other coins.
Students learn the value of coins and how to write symbols that identify coins and dollars.
Curriculum Areas:
Mathematics: Number and algebra-students work with coins to understand that three digit numbers comprise of 100, 10s and ones/

9.25-9.40








9.40-9.45
Students practice identifying and using their knowledge of coins through
interactive games using classroom iPads.


Students are required to begin with the iPad game,
I know how much is in it, which helps them understand how many
smaller coins make up larger amounts.






CLOSURE: Whole class participation
Students seated on the floor in a circle.
Students recount what they have learnt throughout the lesson












Students learn how to use Australian cur-
rency through counting on, counting back,
or skip counting methods, to determine
how much change they should get back.
