28th, 2021. Functional Money Skills for Special Education. Money skills are one of my favorite skills to teach. We use money every day and it is so meaningful for our students to have this experience as well. Money is fun and functional. Creating interactive digital resources that incorporate functional skills is so important, especially for my students. I need them to help my students master and maintain important money math skills, especially for when they go into the real world and have to access money. This past year, we have been unable to take community trips to practice our money skills, which is why interactive digital resources and activities are the best thing. Students can simulate buying and paying for items and getting change. Check out my best-selling math resources perfect for any classroom, perfect for students working on basic identification. Once your students know the value of each coin and dollar, you should start putting it into practice, knowing that if they have a $5 and a $10 and the item is worth $2, they should pay with the $5 and not the $10. Here is a perfect set to get you started. Are you looking to help your students continue to build these skills? You're in luck! This resource bundle I have created includes interactive PDFs, boom cards, Google Slides, and Google Forms. There are so many money math skills that can be practiced.
