Lesson Plan #2
Date: March 26, 2019 Grade Level: 2nd Subject/Topic: Money – Count Coins

Central Focus of Lesson/Learning Segment: Counting Coins

Key Content Standard: CCSS 2.MD.C.8

Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols
appropriately.
ELD Content Standard by Proficiency Level:
Grade 2 – Interpretive: Emerging
Listening Actively: Demonstrate active listening to read-alouds and oral presentation by asking and
answering basic questions, with oral sentence frames and substantial prompting and support
Key Modifications and Accommodations based on IEP/504, ELL:
The lessons will be provided in small groups, with the content of the lessons aligning to the IEP goals of
the students in the groups. Each group consists of 3 students and they work alongside a teacher or
instructional aide to work towards reaching goals and learning the content in a direct and engaging way.
The assignments are shortened and the lessons are given in 30 minute chunks so as to maximize attention
to important elements of the lesson. Due to modifications in IEPs, the students are not graded on
correctness for assignments, but instead for completion of assignments and participation in group work.

The accommodations based on the IEP of the focal student and her partners include calculation devices,
visual cues/manipulatives, graphic organizers, text-to-speech, segmented lessons, and preferential
seating. Similarly, the modifications include shortened assignment length, focus on mastery of functional
math concepts, and providing a bank of answers for fill-in-the-blank questions.
Learning Target (Content Objective): SWBAT determine the different values for each coin and use
addition to determine the total value of the coins within $1.00.
Academic Language Objective: SWBAT explain how to add up coins and correctly use $ and ¢ when
writing their answer, and when verbally giving their answer.
Assessment/Evidence of Learning:
• Formal Formative: Exit ticket at the end of the lesson consisting of 2 problems at the end of the
packet that test the students in the group on their ability to use their graphic organizers to
determine the different coin amounts and add them up – either using mental math, written
calculations, or calculation devices (as provided due to accommodations in IEP). Students can
choose an alternative exit ticket where they complete an online game consisting of 10 problems
where they are asked to add up coins and find the total value.
• Informal Formative: Checks for understanding during the lesson. Students will be asked questions
throughout the lesson to check for their understanding on the content. Based on their answers,
the content will either be repeated for more clarity or I will move on to the next section. If one
student is more confused than others, attention will be given directly to them to ensure that they
understand before moving on as a whole group.
• Summative: Unit test at the end of the week to assess students on their knowledge of the 3
lessons consisting of the mini unit – value of coins, counting coins, and solving word problems.
The unit test will consist of 6 problems – 2 from each of the 3 exit tickets. The questions are taken
directly from the exit tickets to ensure that students are familiar with the questions and the
processes needed to take to answer them. Students are allowed to fill out the test independently,
give a presentation on their answers, or choose another option for preferred presentation.

decision, they will select the answer. If it is right, we method
move on and the next student takes their turn at being
“in charge”. If the answer is wrong, we look at the
question again as a group and decide what we
answered wrong and what the correct answer is.
• After finishing the online game, do a quick review of
the coins including their names and values. Have them
bring out their coin packets from yesterday and show
that they know the different coin names and values.
Each student will say the name of a coin and the value
of a different coin as we go over the coins as a group.

groups of different coins?
o Give them a minute of wait time to think
about their answer.
o Let them each have a chance to give their
answer or to build on an answer of one of
their group members

TPE Connection
TPE #1: Engaging and Supporting All Students in Learning
• Monitor student learning and adjust instruction while teaching so that students continue to be
actively engaged in learning.
• Apply knowledge of students, including their prior experiences, interests, and social-emotional
learning needs, as well as their funds of knowledge and cultural, language, and socioeconomic
backgrounds, to engage them in learning.
