I teach my elementary special ed class to count money using the methods taught in Touch Money. It is so simple that by the end of the unit, my entire class is able to count mixed coins up to $ .50 and many can count several dollars worth of change. The only prerequisite skill they need is the ability to count to 100 by 5 and to be able to count to 100 starting with any number.
Great idea for money! I used to find the Arnotts Tic Toc biscuits great for reinforcing analogue/digital time - a classroom reward, but they had to match the clock face to digital to get the biscuit. I'd love you to visit me at Dream Painters :)
