Overview - TOUCHMONEY WORKSHEETS
TouchMoney, by Cathy Haugen Faucher, uses a proven kinesthetic approach to make learning to count coins quick and easy. Based on the idea that all coins except pennies can be counted using 5's, this step-by-step process helps students of all ages experience success with this essential life skill. Formerly Edmark's TouchMoney, the program has been revised and updated. New features include expanded lesson plans, over 50 additional reproducible worksheets, new activity ideas and games, demonstration coins, and assessments.
HOW IT WORKS
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.
SIX-STEP PROCESS
"TouchCounting" is taught in six simple steps:
Step 1 Learning to count by 1's and 5's and to recognize money symbols.
Step 2 Identifying each type of coin and its value.
Step 3 Learning the location of TouchPoints on each type of coin.
Step 4 TouchCounting coins using marked TouchPoints.
Step 5 TouchCounting coins without the TouchPoints drawn on the coins.
Step 6 TouchCount Shopping: TouchCounting coins to "buy" various "real-life" items.
ACTIVITIES AND GAMES
After students learn each step, they complete numerous practice activities for reinforcement. Each lesson includes reproducible activity sheets and extension activities. A Money Games section is provided at the end of the binder for additional "hands-on" TouchCounting practice.
INCLUDES
Over 150 reproducible Activity Sheets, punch-out Demonstration Coins with and without TouchPoints, a zippered Storage Bag for demonstration coins, Lesson Plans, Assessments, and Answer Keys.
