Description
Practice money, number comparison, and decision-making skills with a realistic, highly visual school supply store simulation. Students act as store volunteers who help customers determine whether they have enough money to purchase the school supplies they want. Students will: Identify the price of a school supply item. Identify how much money a customer has. Compare the price with the amount of money available. Decide whether the customer has enough money to make the purchase. Enter the additional amount needed using the on-screen keyboard. Type 0 when the customer has enough money. The activity supports functional math, money skills, number comparison, decision-making, visual scanning, keyboard number entry, and practical purchasing concepts while providing a consistent response format. Designed for accessible participation with visual, auditory, and motor supports. The simulation takes place in a realistic school supply store featuring familiar items students may use at school. Students take the role of store volunteers, helping customers determine whether they can afford the supplies they want. Students practice comparing dollar amounts and independently entering numerical answers to determine how much more money a customer needs. If the customer already has enough money, students enter 0. Tax is included in the listed prices, allowing students to focus on comparing the amount available with the cost of each item.
