Lesson summary
This topic, "Money," introduces Primary 1 learners to the fundamental concept of Nigerian currency, specifically focusing on coins. Understanding money is a crucial life skill that empowers learners to interact with their environment, make simple transactions, and develop early financial literacy. This foundational knowledge is essential for everyday activities such as buying goods from a local vendor, understanding prices in a market, or saving small amounts.
Teacher activity
Begin by asking learners if they have ever seen money and what they use it for. Display a collection of real Nigerian coins (1k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, N1). Hold up each coin and ask learners if they can identify it.
