Overview
(relevance of lesson to learner)
Show a picture of a woman purchasing something at the store. She is looking in her wallet and trying to find the money. Ask, "What do you do?" (Have bilingual dictionary on hand for Naw- Po.)

Listen to responses. Let the learner know the reasons why the strategies she uses are good. Add your additional ideas using the picture to build the context. (For example, point to the register display and say, "Look at numbers.")

Link this discussion to the need to know the numbers. (For example, not all cash registers have totals that are visible. Point to the register display and say, "I cannot see.")
Presentation Take coins and pictures of bills available; lay them out on the table. Point to the penny, say "one cent" and have the learner repeat. Take the card that says "$0.01 or 1¢" and have the learner put it close to the penny. Say the word, "penny" and have the learner repeat. Take the card that says "penny" and place it on the other side of the penny. Repeat for each coin.
