Money Recognition Sped Lesson Plan 2022
1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?
We discussed aspects of our lesson plan among ourselves, Mrs. Nardelli, the SPED teachers, and the teachers
we pulled into our scavenger hunt activity. We started off by making a plan on our own, and then ran it by our
teachers before asking the participant teachers to help us with the final activity.
4. How well did you anticipate the materials needed? Did you realize you needed more or less as you taught
your lesson?
We were pretty spot on when assuming what materials were needed. Our note sheets came in handy when
asking students to walk us to the classes and tell the teachers how much everything costs, and the actual notes
were something we watched students refer to often. The only thing we thought they may need that most did
not use would be scratch paper and a pencil to work out the math with coins.
5. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)
The students’ ability to give the teachers back change with little to no help was our evidence of their learning!
We asked questions throughout our scavenger hunt, and had the students manage the change and math of
selling the prizes for the activity. These things helped show us where the students were at, and it helped them
retain smaller pieces of information from our teaching.
6. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
Since we noticed the students struggled to keep up with our introduction activity, we would maybe spend more
time editing that slide to have them guess the name of each coin and bill based on the value and not the
appearance. This would be the only part of our lesson that we feel could use the most work if we were to try
and do this again.
7. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
We think our lesson went great and the students were so quick to catch onto everything we were teaching!
Their ability to grasp the information as quickly as they did was something that was very amazing to watch.
Although they will likely need a lot more work with making change, the students showed excellent talent as it
applied to recognizing the bills and coins and knowing their values.
