5. Summary and Standards
• In this lesson we will learn more about
counting forwards and backwards to 100 by
ones, twos, fives, and tens
• We will also count forwards and backwards
starting with numbers other than 1
• And last we will learn about multiple
representations for a given number
• AND we will apply all of this to how to use and
count money
6. My Role as Teacher
• Will be to determine if the child has the basic
understanding of all prerequisite information
before starting the new lesson
• Also to monitor the ideas and understandings
forming to insure that no false information is
being obtained
7. Your Role as Parent
• To practice with your children
• To show them how often these skills are used
8. Their Role as Students
• To participate in classroom activities
• Ask questions when having problems
9. Benefits
• Students will become more comfortable
working with numbers in preparation for more
extensive addition and subtraction
• Have a better understanding of how numbers
relate to one another
• Learn the life lesson of how to use and count
money correctly
10. Objectives
• Identify position using first, second, third, and so

because spatial relation has
• Identify digits in the ones and tens place
• Determining a number that is 10 more or 10 less

11. Project Based Learning
• PBL is a form of instruction during which
students get the opportunity to display what
they have learned by completing a hands-on
project demonstrating the abilities they have
gained. Often these projects put the student
in a real-life situation in which they must
complete the task at hand much like they
would have to do in the adult world.
12. PBL in Our Classroom
• To keep the children engaged I like to use as
many hands-on activities as possible, but at
the first grade level, a lot of basic knowledge is
still being fostered
• This means that while I leave the thinking up
to the students, I stay very involved in the
activities to ensure they are being guided in
the correct direction, but still on their own
terms
