Index: 4.1A Grade 2 CPI 4
Standard: 4.1 - Number and Numerical Operations
Strand: A - Number Sense
Cumulative Progress Indicator: 4 - The student will count and perform simple computations with coins. · Amounts up to $1.00 (using cents notation)
Grade: 2
Sample Activities:
· Students use play money to show different combinations of coins that can be used to "buy" an object. For example, an 11 cents pencil can be bought with 11 pennies, a dime and a penny, one nickel and six pennies, or two nickels and a penny.
· Students earn 2 cents each day for attendance and 1 cent for good behavior. They keep their play money in a bank, count it regularly and use it to buy objects from a treasure chest.
· Students play Spend a Dollar. They each start with $1 (either as a bill or in change) and then roll one or two dice to find out how much they "spend" on that turn. They trade coins as needed. The student who spends all of her money first wins.
· Students play a shopping board game. They each begin with a given amount of money in coins. They roll two dice to determine how far they move each turn. As they land on a space, they must buy whatever is shown. Some spaces may provide refunds. The winner is the first person to go around the board and still have money left.
· Students' abilities to recognize coins and find the value of a group of coins are assessed by having each student select three objects to "buy," identify and name the coins needed to purchase each object, and find the total amount of money required to purchase all three.
