Money Pieces, by The Math Learning Center

Description

Visualize and understand money values and relationships Money Pieces help students visualize and understand money values and relationships. Two versions of coins and bills are provided: virtual currency pieces that replicate the appearance and relative size of U.S. coins and the dollar bill, and area money pieces. Area money pieces represent the values of coins and the dollar bill using an area model in which 1 square unit is equal to a penny. Nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars are represented by collections of squares equal to their value. In this way, the area pieces can be used to model and compute with fractions and decimals. FEATURES • Switch between currency and area money pieces. • Illustrated shades can be used to pose problems with unknown quantities of money. • Convert money to different bill or coin values. For example, two quarters can be exchanged for 1 half dollar, 10 nickels, 5 dimes, or 50 pennies. • Rotate and duplicate selected items. • Choose to show either side (heads or tails) of the currency or money pieces. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Write equations and expressions with the math text tool.
