This activity serves as a pretest. The assessment is done before the lesson and serves as a tool to
analyze the students existing knowledge about coin identification and coin counting. The activity will be
used to assess if further instruction is needed to make sure students know how to identify the different
coins. This activity serves as a tool to guide my instructional practices and strategies. Based on the
assessment outcomes, I will modify instruction to best address the needs of the learners. If the need
arises, I will add an additional component that includes targeted coin identification activities for the
students that struggle with the concept.

2. A glittered notebook from the same store costs one dollar and 92 cents. What
money from your bag could you use to show four different ways to pay for this
notebook? You may use a dollar bill to show only one way.

Comments:
The independent Coin Manipulation and Coin Rub activity will be used as a formative assessment
during instruction. As students are working on their coin rub activity, I will assess student competency in
the different areas of working with coins. I will observe the students as they solve problems and record
student competencies in the following areas:
1. Student can accurately and swiftly identify all coins.
2. Student knows coin values of all coins.
3. Student understands how to use problem-solving strategies to answer the coin problems in
the activity.
4. Comments areas of concern
I will use the student observation checklist to record my anecdotal notes. The purpose of the activity is
to check for understanding and identify which students need specific targeted instruction to increase
their understanding of the concepts. The assessment is also used to identify students who have already
mastered the concept and need to be challenged through a more challenging activity. I will provide a
shopping list for those students, in the activity students can select the items they want to buy.
This assessment will be used to direct the pacing of the remainder of the lesson. This tool serves
as authentic assessment that deepens my understanding of how students apply the concepts in a real
life situation.
Student Reflection, this journal activity serves as a formal assessment and will be assessed through
the attached rubric.
3. If you could buy both the toy car and the notebook, how much money will you have spent?
Show what you did to find your answer. You may use numbers, pictures, or words to share
your answer.

The activity serves as a formal assessment; it will be used to check the students problem-solving
skills. Students need to think about and reflect upon how they solved the problems. The activity also
serves as an assessment tool for the language objectives of the lesson. Students demonstrate their
understanding of the content through the application of the concept in writing. The activity deepens the
students understanding of the concepts learned and makes them engage in reflection.
To best assess this activity I will use the attached rubric. The rubric serves as a tool to guide the
reflection of the students and provide clear guidelines of what is expected of them.

The Exit ticket serves as a quick formative assessment that is used to identify the students
readiness for the chapter test. I will use this assessment to identify further instructional needs before
students take the chapter test. It is one of the many ways I include in the lesson to check for
understanding.

The chapter test is a formal summative assessment which is done at the end of the
lesson. This assessment identifies which students have mastered the concepts of lesson. The
assessment incorporates different representation of examples used during the different practice
activities and shows the students level of understanding of the concepts. It is one of the many
assessment tools I will use to gain a clear understanding of the students mastery of the
concepts.

TEACHER COMMENTS
2nd Trimester

The concept of working with money is included in the report card, which indicates that this is
one of the core concepts that students need to master in second grade. I included the report card to
emphasize the importance of the concept. The report card includes spaces for comments. In the
comment section, I will include comments about areas of strength the students exhibited in their
learnings about money and areas of need. I will use my anecdotal notes as reference points for these
comments. The inclusion of the report card also emphasizes the interconnectedness of instruction. The
activities, strategies, and tools used during the instructional process need to be sequenced to lead
students to success in the key areas of instruction.
Since assessment drives instruction, the goal is to provide continuous assessment before,
throughout, and after the lesson. The different assessment pieces provide different insights and
perspectives into student learning; the goal is to get the best possible picture of the students
understanding of the concepts learned.
