Money Skills: Making Change
Making Change teaches the student to select the correct number of
coins and bills to create a specified dollar amount.
The student is presented with a number of coins and bills on the
left side of the screen. A dollar amount is displayed on the right.
The student moves the money from the left side of the screen to the
right, until the correct amount is shown on the right side.
Mouse users can simply click on the money they want to move. It will
automatically move to the correct position on the other side of the
screen. When the correct amount is shown on the right, they click on
the answer to confirm it.
Keyboard users use a large arrow cursor on screen to move the money.
The arrow cursor always indicates where keyboard actions will occur.
If the arrow cursor is on a money row and is pointing right,
pressing the right arrow key will move one coin or bill to the right
side. Pressing a number will move that number of coins or bills to
the right. If the arrow cursor is pointing left, the left arrow and
the number keys move the money to the left side.
When the student has moved the correct amount of money to the right
side, they use the down-arrow or "0" key to move the arrow cursor
down to the money amount, then press the right or left arrow to
signal they are done. The student may also signal they are done by
pressing the ENTER key, no matter where the arrow cursor is located.
If a wrong answer is given, the answer is shown on screen, the
student is corrected and given another chance to answer. After a
specified number of wrong answers is given, the student is shown the
correct answer and allowed to try again.
Interface Options:
Supports keyboard, mouse, touch screen, IntelliKeys, and single- or
dual-switch input.
Single- and
dual-switch scanning are built-in (6 different ways), and special
prompts allow blind students to use all levels of difficulty.
