When thinking about Backwards Design and looking in to the future of what I want to accomplish out of my Lesson plans I think about success, studentstudents fully understandingunderstanding, etc. For my Lesson plans for first grade mathematics currency I would want the students to be able to fully understand each coin, how much each coin is worth, and be able to add coins to "purchase" products to get the desired amount for the product.
In thinking about "testing" thethe students to make sure that they fully understand I would do a fun exercise of "store" time and have each student "buy" a product and get to the right amount and then also do a worksheet over the currency. The students would do the worksheet individually and then we could go over it together and make sure that everyone has the answers correct and has a full understanding. This way if any of the students do not then we could dig deeper.

  1. I like your currency example. You seem to have some great measurement assessments planned for it, and knowing the end goal on what you want them to know regarding coin identification is a clear one!

  2. Currency with first graders will be fun. I love your idea of the store. This is a great way to apply the lesson to real world situations.
