Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Guess Who: True American Edition:

In this integrated lesson plan, students will identify US coins, express their values using the cents (¢) symbol and state their equivalency to the US dollar while recognizing symbols and individuals that represent the United States.

A Pot of Pennies:

This lesson focuses on the importance of knowing the value of various coins and being able to add them together to determine the total value. It uses two great picture books to introduce counting and adding coins and understanding their value. It is collaborative and interactive using coin manipulatives, journals, and instant feedback.

It's About Time:

This is an engaging activity which will provide students with the opportunity to practice telling time by the hour and half-hour us.ing their bodies as the hands of a clock.

Counting Coins:

Students will work towards earning an "ice cream celebration" as they master their understanding of money. Through this lesson, students will be able to recognize and count pennies and dimes in isolation as well as compute the values of combinations of these coins (pennies and/or dimes). Students will also create a model using coin manipulatives to represent given values. This lesson will focus on part "b" of the standard.

How Many Ways Can You Make Combinations of Pennies and Dimes?:

Are you looking for an engaging way to teach your students how to add combinations of pennies and dimes? This lesson is for you and your students! In this lesson, the students will be using real world situational problems, ten frames, base ten blocks, pennies, and dimes to add combinations. This lesson starts with whole group, moves to guided practice, then progresses to independent practice. The lesson ends with a summative assessment and a rubric for you to use when grading.

Mystery Coins:

In this lesson students will be identifying the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter and identifying the value of each of these coins. This lesson starts out as a whole group lesson focusing on an anchor chart that has been created by the teacher with the students as they discover knowledge about the coins. This lesson includes a game, partner activity, and an independent matching activity. Also, this lesson addresses part "a" of the standard.

What time is it?:

Students will learn to tell and write time to the hour and half hour using analog clocks.

Discovering Math: Beginning Measurement: Demonstrate the basic measures of length, width, height, weight, and temperature by measuring objects and recording the information.
  • Demonstrate how time is measured by recording it to the nearest minute.
  • Count money using coins and bills.
What Time Is It?:

The students will tell time to the hour and half hour using the story The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle.
