Description: This printable instructional guide is a planning companion for the Functional Math Boom deck lesson series focused on money skills, coins, bills, and total prices. It is designed to serve as the starting point of the lesson, providing special education teachers with a high-level framework for planning and delivering intentional instruction using Boom decks. Rather than assigning digital activities in isolation, this guide helps teachers understand the full lesson progression across the deck series. Instructional targets move from matching and identifying coins and bills to comparing values, adding money, and using money in simple purchasing scenarios. This supports functional math instruction that is structured, purposeful, and aligned to real-world applications. The guide includes instructional targets, background knowledge considerations, differentiation strategies, pre-teaching vocabulary, application ideas, assessment options, and IEP-aligned goal suggestions. It is especially helpful for teachers planning life skills, math, functional money lessons, and differentiated instruction for students with diverse learning needs. This instructional guide supports teachers with: - Lesson planning for functional math and life skills - Understanding how Boom decks work together as a complete lesson - Differentiation for multiple learning levels - Data collection and IEP-aligned instruction - Connecting digital practice to real-world money use
