Brief description:
This unit will explore the features of Australian money, the value of Australian money, equivalent
values in collections of coins and notes, the order of Australian money, as well as counting
Australian coins and notes. The unit will begin by focusing on introducing Australian money and
the features of Australian money. It will then go on to look at the value of Australian money. This
is lesson three out of the unit and will focus on the order of Australian money and identifying
equivalent values in collections of coins or notes (e.g. two 5-cent coins have the same value as
one 10-cent coin). The lesson after this will look further into equivalent values in collections of
coins and notes (e.g. two 20-cent coins and one 10-cent coin has the same value as one 50-cent
coin). The unit will then move on to counting collections of Australian coins and notes to make
up particular values.

Australian coins and notes can be
Order Australian coins and notes
ordered from lowest to highest

That two of the same Australian
coins or notes can be combined
to produce the same value as one
Australian coin or note (e.g. two
ten-cent coins have the same
value as one twenty-cent coin).
Essential Questions:
Australian coin or note and why do some not equal the same value?
Lesson Plan
Lesson Sequence
Introduction:
Introduce the lesson with all students sitting
on the floor in front of the teacher:
Welcome all the students and explain
that todays lesson will be about the
order and equal values of Australian
money.
Using the smart board, present
students with the pre-prepared
jumbled up coins and notes. Invite
students one at a time to place the
coins and notes in order from lowest
to highest value.
Using the same coins and notes on
the smart board ask students:
- What coin equals the same
amount as two 5-cent coins?
- Can two 20-dollar notes equal
the same value as one note?
- Why is it important to know the
order of Australian coins and
notes?
- Why is it important to know that
two of the same coins or notes
can make up the same value as a
Explanatory notes
Resources for Introduction:
Smart board with pre-prepared jumbled up
coins and notes (5-cents to 10 dollars).
For the first part of the lesson, the class is
addressed as a whole. This will allow the teacher
to introduce students to the lesson, discuss what
they will be doing throughout the lesson and have
whole group discussions about various aspects of
the order and equivalent value of Australian coins
and notes. Introducing the lesson as a whole class
will ensure that students are aware of the topics
that will be addressed in the lesson as well as
allow for students to activate their prior
knowledge and experiences with money before
they begin to start working on tasks throughout
the lesson.
Resources for tiered activity:
Zip-lock bags with jumbled up coins and
notes.
Maths books.
Pencils
Group C:
Students will open their zip-lock
bags and begin to decipher the coins
and notes within the bag, ordering 5cents to 5 dollars from the lowest
value to highest value. Note that all
coins and notes from 5-cents to 5
dollars will be in the bag for Group
C.
Students will record the order in
which they have put the coins and
notes into their maths book.
Ask all students to finish off what they are working on.
Mix up the students (3-4 students in each group) and ask them to share what they have
worked on using the RAFT.
- Ensure that students who are completing their RAFT as a presentation are put in the
same group and a video recorder is set up in front of the speaker in order for the
teacher to use the recordings to assess students.
- Students who are completing their RAFT in any of the other formats can be mixed up
into groups to share their work.
Ensure the teacher is walking around the classroom at this time and listening to students
discussions.
Ask students to face the front of the classroom.
Recap what has occurred throughout the lesson and address the content that has been
covered.
Collect all of the students work; ensuring names are on all pieces of work handed up to
the teacher.
The teacher can then use this work to check for understanding and complete the rubric to
determine if there are any misconceptions with students understanding which the teacher
can then address in upcoming lessons.

Appendix B Tiered activity
Group A receive jumbled up Australian coins and notes (laminated) in a zip-lock
bag with 5-cents to 100 dollars inside. Not all of the Australian coins and notes
between 5-cents and 100 dollars will be inside the bag, however 5-cents and 100
dollars must be in the bag. Only one or two coins or notes should be missing from the
bag.
Group B receive jumbled up Australian coins and notes (laminated) in a zip-lock
bag with 5-cents to 20 dollars inside. Not all of the Australian coins and notes
between 5-cents and 20 dollars will be inside the bag, however 5-cents and 20 dollars
must be in the bag. Only one coin or note should be missing from the bag.
Group C receive jumbled up Australian coins and notes (laminated) in a zip-lock
bag with 5-cents to 5 dollars inside. All coins and notes will be in the bag from 5cents to 5 dollars.

Yourself
You are yourself and want to write a diary entry about why your mum or dad would
only give you money if you knew the value of the money.
EXAMPLE:
On Sunday, I was sitting outside with my mum. She had two 10c coins and said she
would only give me the coins if I told her what other coin two 10c coins would add
up to. I was happy that my mum asked me this because I could tell her that the two
10c coins added up to one 20c coin. After I told her this, she gave me the two 10c
coins and one 20c coin.
Public speaker
You are a public speaker in front of a class full of students and want to give an
example that two of the same Australian coins or notes can have the same value as
one Australian coin or note. You would also like to tell them what the answer is and
how you found the answer. Dont forget to write your answer on a piece of A4 paper.
