Instructor: Emily Kelley Grade Level/Cooperating Teacher: 2

Lesson Title: Miss Kelley's Dollar Restaurant
Date: 3/4/14
Curriculum Area: Math
Estimated Time: 30 Minutes
Standards Connection:
1.) Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations
of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by
using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
21.) Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and
symbols appropriately. [2-MD8]
Learning Objective(s):
Students will be able to use subtraction to figure out what number they need to use to get to 100 ($1.00) and
use addition to check the problem when given a word problem using money.
Learning Objective(s) stated in kid-friendly language:
Class! After we are done with this lesson, you will be able to add numbers up to 100 using word problems that
have to do with money. We are going to do this by using coins and subtracting the amount you have from
$1.00 to see how much more money you need to get to that dollar. You will use addition to check your work.
Evaluation of Learning Objective(s):
Students will be given a worksheet with money word problems on it. The students will have to subtract the
amount they are given from the dollar to come up with how much money they will need. Then the students will
check their work using addition.
Engagement:
Hello class! It is so good to see you this morning. I hope you're ready because today because we are going
on a field trip, you will be entering in Miss Kelley's very own restaurant. But before we can order our food, we
have to know how much money we need to get the food item. So before we get started, can I please have 4
volunteers? 4 students will raise their hand and be called to the front of the class. They will each take a sheet
of paper with a poem about a type of coin. They will read it to the class.
-Coin Poems-Penny, pennyEasily spentCopper brown andWorth one centNickel, nickel,Thick and fat,You're
worth five cents.I know that.Dime, dimeLittle and thin,I remember,You're worth ten.Quarter, quarterBig and
bold,You're worth twenty-fiveI am told! Wow! Great job friends! So now are we all refreshed on what are coin's
values are? Let's say them again! A penny is worth 1 cent. A nickel is worth 5 cents. A dime is worth 10
cents. A quarter is worth.. 25 cents. Sounds like you guys are masters with money! So if we add up all those
coins to equal 100, how much money is that? A dollar! Good! 100 cents equal one dollar.
Learning Design:
I. Teaching: Now when you go to a restaurant, what are some of the things you do first? Students will answer:
be seated, look at the menu, order. Those are all great answers! So we look at the menu, and what is the
number besides the food items? The cost! Great! Now this is why math is so important, it is something we use
everyday, and every time we go into a restaurant. We have to look at the cost, see how much we have, and
determine how much more we need in order to pay our bill. Raise your hand if you know how to subtract?
Good! In order to figure out how much more money we will need to pay, we will subtract the amount we have
from a dollar. Can anyone tell me why we do this? Students will explain that if you subtract those numbers you
will be left with the amount you need to pay. Thats correct! We need to subtract these two numbers, and then
that gives us the answer! Let me show you an example. Teacher shows a money word problem example.
Lets try that together. Teacher will write examples of subtraction using money on the board and have
students come up and solve them. You did great with those problems! Now lets take a look at them- there is a
way to check your work. After subtracting those two numbers, add up the amount you had and the amount
you need. What should this equal? One dollar! Correct! So we can use subtraction to solve the problem, and
then addition to check it. Thumbs up if you understand! So now you guys are using the money problems to
subtract from $1.00 to see how much money you need. Now lets put those skills to practice.

II. Opportunity for Practice:
Field trip time! Act like you are driving to the restaurant. Here we are! Welcome to the restaurant! Now when
you get seated at your table, its your turn to pick out your own meal and decide how much money you will
need to be able to pay for your food. I will be your host for this evening, if table one could please be seated
right this way. Now for my table two. And three. And finally, table four you can be seated. The teacher will
pass out the math menu's and students will enjoy looking over all the different food items. Then the teacher
will pass out a chart for them to fill in which food item they want for a beverage, appetizer, entree, and dessert
(she will model it before hand). They can work in table groups/partners for this assignment. Then they will
write how much each item costs ($1.00). Then the teacher will pass out the play money and tell them to take
out a certain amount of money. They will write this number down. From there they will have to figure out how
much money they need to be able to get to $1.00.
III. Assessment
The students will have plenty of practice after completing the chart on the menu. They have seen the teacher
do the word problems, they have done it together with me, then with a partner, and they will complete the
assessment on their own. The students will have word problems that have to do with money and being in a
restaurant. They will have to show their work for subtracting from $1.00 and the amount they have. With the
answer they get from subtraction, they will need to add the amount they have and the amount they need to
check and make sure it equals $1.00. The teacher will collect their work and grade it based on a rubric that
the students will already be familiar with.
IV. Closure: I hope you all enjoyed your food at my restaurant and come back very soon! Even if it is not at my
restaurant, practice your addition and subtraction skills and any restaurant you go to. Isnt it cool how what we
learn in class can be used in the real world too? Please take out your journals and write a summary on what
you learned, what you thought of the lesson, and how it can be applied to real life. Great job today students!

Differentiation Strategies (including plans for individual learners):
HL- The standard suggest to do addition and subtraction within 100 (or in our case, $1.00), but the teacher
could challenge students to go above a dollar and see if they can subtract back down to a dollar or add up to
a certain amount of dollars.
LL- If students are overwhelmed with trying to get to a dollar, start with getting to 25 cents, then 50, then 75
and gain their confidence to get to a dollar.
Data Analysis:
The assessment was hard to get an accurate analysis on because a lot of the students were either rushed or
ran out of time before they had to go to library. The ones that completed the assignment seemed to truly
understand the concept. The ELL students were the ones who seemed to struggle the most in this lesson. I
need to be more aware of how to appeal and accommodate ELL students in my math lessons. But overall, the
students seemed to have an understanding of the lesson.
Reflection:
The students loved the idea of this lesson! They became immediately engaged when it came to the restaurant
and really seemed to enjoy it. The recommendation I would have for doing this lesson again would be to be
sure the students' previous knowledge leads into the lesson. When I taught this lesson, the majority of
students were not prepared to cover the standard I was told to address. We had to stop this lesson to
backtrack and teach and review basic addition and subtraction. But the idea and activity worked really well!
