App Description
Click on “Making Change" and then click the “Enter" button to open this program.
This program teaches the student about changing (converting) larger denominations of currency into smaller ones, such as breaking a dollar note into five twenty-cent or ten ten-cent or any other collections of coins that add up to the dollar.
The screen has a top box showing the coin or note for which change is needed. To the right of the top box is a counter giving the value of the currency in the top box.
Under the top box are more boxes in the middle of the screen with spaces for the coins or notes that the student is using to make change for the money in the top box. To the right of the middle boxes is a counter giving the value of the change in the middle boxes.
At the bottom is another set of boxes with a coin or note in each box. The student clicks on these coins or notes to make change for the coin or note in the top box.
Change Made
The student clicks this button when he/she thinks the correct change has been placed in the boxes in the middle.
