Teacher sequence

Introduce, model, practice, inspect

Move through the sequence vertically. Each step has a distinct classroom decision rather than a hidden swipe panel.

  1. Introduce

    Set one visible purpose

    • Sort coins by value and count from the greatest value to the least. For this counting money set, begin without a timer.
  2. Model

    Demonstrate the attribute-and-unit check

    • Count larger coin values first, track the total in cents, and write the final amount with the correct symbol.
  3. Practice

    Assign the focused set

    • Write dollars and cents with two digits after the decimal point. Regenerate only when the learner is ready for another arrangement of the same objective.
  4. Inspect

    Use errors to choose the next move

    • Counting the number of coins rather than their values. Watch for this specifically during counting money practice.
    • Confusing a coin's size with its value. Use the worked correction as the next teaching example.
