Learning Activity:
For the learning activity we will be working on, students will be counting various coin collections (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters) and telling/writing the total value of each coin collection.
For example: coin collection A has 2 quarters, 3 nickels, and 2 pennies - students would have to determine the total value of these coins and record their answers to be submitted.
As students work on this activity, I will observe individual students, taking notes on strengths and weaknesses and providing feedback as they work.
Learning Target:
Students will be able to tell/write the value of a collection of coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters), up to $1.00.
Assessment:
I will collect information both from the recorded answers they submit to me at the end of the activity and from my observations. As I observe students, I will ask questions such as "Can you show me how you counted these coins?" "What other coins might you have to make that same total amount?" "What if you had 5 nickels, instead of 3, how would that change the total value of the coin collection?"
Feedback:
Feedback for this activity will be based on individual student performance on the learning activity. Feedback will be given orally, as I observe students working.
Examples of this feedback might include: "I see that you are counting all of the same kind of coins (dimes) together first, and then counting on for the next kind (nickels) - that seems to work well." "When you count on for the value of the dimes, you are using your fingers and counting on by 1s, could there be a more efficient way to count the value of the dimes?" "When you counted the value of the dimes by 10s, you figured out the value of those coins more quickly."
I will use notes from my observations, along with the written work that students submit to guide further instruction. The way this is done will depend upon students' strengths and weaknesses - perhaps small group, guided instruction, for those who need more practice; and extension activities for those who have met the learning target.
