1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Look at these two coins. The copper one looks bigger. Is it worth more than the gold one?
2 - Watch and Notice ~10 mins
We are lining coins up by value. Value means how many cent a coin is worth: the number stamped on it. Least first, most last. Read the cent on each coin in the line.
Now look hard at the copper 5c and the gold 10c. Which one is bigger? Which one is worth more?
3 - Try It Together ~8 mins
Sort these coins by value, from least to most. Read the cent stamped on each card, then drag it into the line.
Sort by value
4 - Write the Value Order in Your Copy ~3 mins
In your maths copy, write the coins in order of value, least first:
- 1c
- 2c
- 5c
- 10c
5 - Class Challenge ~12 mins
Sort each set from least value to most value. Read the cent first.
Order by value
