Money Skills: The Store

The Marblesoft store teaches the student to understand the value of money and some of the choices that have to be made when spending it.

For each problem, the student is given a dollar. To help the student understand the concept, 10 dimes are dropped into a piggy bank while the money is counted on screen. The dollar amount indicates the total of the dollar just given and the amount previously saved in the bank (explained below).

The student is shown 9 items, each labeled with a price, that they may purchase. Some items may cost more than the student has in the bank, although there will always be items the student can afford. The student selects the item they want by clicking on it or typing its number on the keyboard.

If the student has enough money for the selected item, the program moves the item into the shopping cart. If the item is too expensive, the student is corrected and given another chance to select. After a specified number of wrong answers is given, the student is shown an affordable selection 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.
