Description and Rationale: This artifact was chosen because it is a unit I created based my cooperatiive teacher's suggestion that the students needed extra practice with counting mixed coins as well as pre-assessment data collection.
Reflection: This was an effective lesson based on the assessment data. I chose two strategies to target two groups of students even though both strategies could be used by either group. The first strategy we used are the three steps to counting mixed coins and the second strategy was having students draw "hairs" on the coins. Please see lesson plan above for descriptions of these strategies. As the post-assessment data reveals, my instruction had an impact on learning and the lesson was a success. Prior to the lesson, the class average was 58% and the post-assessment class average was 82%.
