My Project

My students are learning how to recognize the value of different coins and bills, and how to add them together to use them in a real life setting.

They learn best with hands-on materials, and need to use play money to practice for real life scenarios.

They also need to see a visual representation as a model as they are learning.

My students are hard workers and try to do their best every day at school. I teach students with extensive support needs. They all have learning disabilities, and need extra support to learn skills that will benefit them throughout the rest of their lives.
