One possible group activity for integrating AI into teaching grade 1 students about adding peso coins and bills could be a “Smart Shop” activity. Here’s how it could be organized:

Objective: To help students practice adding peso coins and bills using AI technology.

Materials needed: 1. AI-enabled device (such as a tablet or computer) with a currency recognition app or software installed. 2. Peso coins and bills (real or play money). 3. Worksheets or paper for recording calculations.

Instructions: 1. Divide the students into small groups of 3-4. 2. Explain to the students that they will be playing a game called “Smart Shop” where they will use AI technology to help them add peso coins and bills. 3. Provide each group with an AI-enabled device and demonstrate how to use the currency recognition app or software. Show them how to place a coin or bill in front of the device’s camera and let the AI recognize the value. 4. Give each group a set of peso coins and bills. 5. Explain that each group will take turns being the “shopkeeper” and the “customer.” 6. The shopkeeper will select a few items from their set of coins and bills and display them in front of the AI-enabled device. The AI will recognize the value of the displayed coins and bills. 7. The customer will use the AI-enabled device to see the total value of the displayed coins and bills and record it on their worksheet or paper. 8. The customer will then pay the shopkeeper using the coins and bills from their set. They will count the correct amount and give it to the shopkeeper. 9. The shopkeeper will verify if the payment is correct by using the AI-enabled device to count the received coins and bills. If the payment is correct, the shopkeeper will confirm it. If not, the customer will have to try again. 10. Rotate roles within the group, allowing each student to be the shopkeeper and customer. 11. After each round, discuss the correct answers as a whole class and address any questions or difficulties the students may have encountered. 12. Repeat the activity with different sets of coins and bills to provide more practice.

This activity combines hands-on learning with the use of AI technology, making it engaging and interactive for grade 1 students while reinforcing their understanding of adding peso coins and bills.
