Those sites marked with * are those which are to be used with students to supplement lessons.
* Very short video about money. Good as an introduction to unit lessons on money or at the beginning of unit.
* The 'History of Money' link is a good video about how money came about and why we use money. Would be good as an introduction before or at the beginning of money unit but could be used at any time during money unit.
* Interactive website to practice money concepts. Best used as a review and practice after coins have been taught. Would have to be teacher directed.
* This interactive site is great for learning about coins, reinforcing basic coin naming, identification, value, etc., and for practicing those skills. Best used after all coins have been introduced as a review and practice. Would need to be done whole group with teacher direction.
* Good, simple coin recognition game. Picking out each kind of coin from group of all coins and telling how many. Use after all coins have been introduced.
* this is a story you could use with the whole class to supplement lessons on money. There is a quiz at the end that covers some money concepts. Rather lengthy. Could be used at any time during unit on money.
* This is a fun game involving money and shopping. Would need to be done with teacher guidance as a whole group but would go well with money lessons. Drag and drop coins into piggy bank and then go shopping.
* Story about money. Includes no audio but could be read to the class. Quiz is included at the end. Could be done as a whole group. Good general information about money. Rather lengthy. Could be used at any time during unit on money.
