Counting Coins and Their Values

Mrs. Walker's lesson focuses on teaching students how to recognize and count the value of coins. The lesson begins with a review of coin values, followed by exercises to count coins and find their total value. Students are encouraged to write number sentences to represent the value of different coin combinations. The lesson also introduces advanced counting strategies, such as starting with the largest coin value and making tens. The session concludes with instructions for independent practice and an invitation for students to ask questions if needed.
