Product Description
Help your students be independent shoppers, even if they can’t make change with the dollar up method. These next dollar up task cards can help students learn to count $1 more than the price to make purchases.
Perfect for students in middle and high school special education, this set of 80 dollar up task cards includes 40 task cards with prices. It also includes 40 dollar up cards for you to write in the price. If you have students who memorize answers, this increases the difficulty. The cards also include visual supports with a dollar number line to help your students practice rounding to the next dollar up. All the prices are for groceries and restaurant items.
What Is the Next Dollar Up Method?
In the dollar up method, you round up to the next dollar after the price. So the student looks at the price tag, counts the number of dollars in the price and then adds one dollar to round up. The student then receives change (and this also helps account a bit for sales tax in some prices). So if the item costs $3.20, the student would pay with 4 $1 dollar bills.
Who Are These For?
- Students in middle school and high school, and sometimes elementary, special education programs typically use the next dollar strategy.
- Individuals who are able to count with 1-1 correspondence will be most successful starting on this set.
