I have a core group of students who are still having a hard time with money. The SMART Board is such a great motivator for them to learn. They love using it - even more than counting with real money. I found a lesson online that had a cash register at the top and the students are to create that money amount in three different ways. I'm guessing they were to draw the coins, but the students love the infinite coins, so I added those to the lesson (plus it is faster than them drawing the coins). Sure enough, we worked through several problems, counting together and helping each other come up with the right answers. This group really couldn't wait for the next problem. They were so encouraging of each other. I think true success is when the students learn or improve their motivation to learn. These kids are on their way, by feeling more successful.
I think next time I would add even some more basic pages with coin identity and simple coin counting and then move into the rest of the lesson as is.
I've mostly used my SMART Board for Morning Meeting, Language Arts, and Math. I hope to add more lessons to other areas. I can see that the benefits are endless.
Thousands of Lessons, 23 students, 1 SMART Board, Loving to Learn... Priceless.
