The lesson plan titled 'Pop to the Shops' focuses on reinforcing shopping vocabulary and handling money for a 4th-grade class. It includes interactive activities such as the 'Money Master' online game and a board game to encourage participation and practical application of mathematical and linguistic skills. The plan emphasizes group work, cultural respect, and a positive learning environment while assessing students' engagement through various tasks.

1. LESSON PLAN

GROUP (11 PUPILS)
• Background Information:
• Before Christmas they
have finished the unit
that talks about go

because it’s difficult for
them to get used
handling with a different

20’ Use a resource
www.mathsisfun.com/money/money-

captains (colors) and the rest of the
participants in each group. Firstly use the
difficult option (give change). Show on the
digital whiteboard costumer gives £20.00
and item costs £19.26 and they have to
think of the correct answer and raise hand.
When the answer is correct, the boy/girl
goes to the whiteboard and chose for the
right coins. Then we have the first captain
(color red). Do it three more times. Then
use a simpler option that it is say a total
£2.94, one person goes to the whiteboard
and chose the right coins and check it. If it
is correct he/she chooses with what captain
wants to play until everybody has a group.

5. Personal notes/reminders/homework/other considerations:
This is a lesson plan thought to put into practice with half of the group because when you play
with one board game it is necessary that everybody can see clearly, can have opportunities to
have some task and participate in some way (rolling and throwing the dice, giving and
exchanging the money, controlling the food cards, moving the counter, etc); and also before
playing the game when they have to participate in the money master game online.

11. REFLECTING ON MY OWN PROJECT
• After implementing this lesson plan with four different groups of more or less 11 pupils in
each, I can say some aspects to bear in mind.
• Firstly, I should say that they considered this activity very interesting and motivating. They
amused during the class and they could practise in a more real context some of the
expressions and structures that they had already learnt.
• They worked in groups and they hadn’t any problems when they had to talk about the
tasks. They knew how to organize because everyone had the opportunity to do something
and every member of the group could throw the dice, count the squares, give money back,
ask the banker for more money, take a new card, etc. That’s why I choose to implement this
lesson plan with half group and not all the class. I like a lot this board game because there
are many tasks so I can be sure that everybody can do something and participate in some
way. This is the reason because I try to play every year at least once in the course with the
pupils in 4th grade. But I remember last year that in some occasions when it was raining and
they couldn’t go to the playground and they had to stay in class playing games they asked
me to play this board game.
• I realised when they were doing the quiz (money master) that some pupils who are very
good at maths and they are not so good at English they normally aren’t captains of the
groups because their level of English is lower but that day they were very happy and they
felt very important because they guessed the answer very quick and they had to make an
effort to say the numbers in English because they knew the result.
• This is a lesson plan that I had programmed when they finish unit 2 but this year that I have
added this first activity “money master” and as I realised that they liked it a lot, I will do it
with this modification the next years.
