Introduction:
Who has some money with them? Has anyone ever used or earned money? Well today we are going to learn about the different types of money and what they are worth. Pay attention because there will be a project involving the use of money and the information will be on your next exam. It will be an exam on the computer so we can see and hear when we get the answers right. This way will help us learn better.

Those who have used money before will be the group leaders.There will be a mini-shopping area set up in the back of the room. The groups will put their money together and go shopping for items such as candy, gum, pens, pencils, stickers, etc. I will be the check out girl. When they are finished, I will total their shopping order and ask for the money.At the end we will discuss what they got for their money and how much they had left over and what to do with the left over money. This will go into the next lesson that deals with a savings and spending plan.
