Why count up instead of subtracting?

Counting up matches what happens at a register: the cashier starts at the price and hands back money until the total reaches what the customer paid. It needs no written subtraction, and the same steps let a customer check their own change.

What is in the paid pack that is not here?

Counting ten wallets, eight exact-amount tasks, ten Do I Have Enough? problems, the rest of the change problems, ten check-your-change receipts, twelve store scenario cards, the teacher guide, the data sheet, the answer key, the IEP goals and the A4 file.

Is it legal to print pictures of money?

Yes, within the federal rules. The bills print at 70 percent of real size and on one side only, which is under the 75 percent limit, so they cannot be mistaken for real money.

Teens and young adults in special education or a transition program who are learning to handle cash at a register, and the teachers, job coaches and parents working with them. It suits a student practicing for a first job as a cashier as well as one learning to check their own change.
