Each component of the program is sold separately or may be purchased in money saving combos.
TouchMoney Worksheets
TouchMoney Worksheets has been revised and updated to include expanded lesson plans, over 50 additional reproducible worksheets, new activity ideas and games, and assessments.
Students learn to count TouchPoints on nickels, dimes, and quarters to determine the value of the coins. Each TouchPoint equals five cents. Pennies are TouchCounted last since they are worth one cent each. This hands-on program includes activity sheets with lesson plans for each of the 6 steps of the TouchMoney process:
- Learning to count by 1's and 5's and to recognize money symbols.
- Identifying each type of coin and its value.
- Learning the location of TouchPoints on each type of coin.
- TouchCounting coins using marked TouchPoints.
- TouchCounting coins without the TouchPoints drawn on the coins.
- TouchCount Shopping: TouchCounting coins to buy various real-life items.
Each lesson includes reproducible activity sheets and extension activities. A Money Games section is provided for additional hands-on TouchCounting practice.
