Description
Middle and high school life skills teachers, this Money Problem of the Day resource is a great way to get more life skills special education activities with money and shopping practice during morning work or morning meeting. Get your students engaged with learning money using these 200 slides, each with a shopping problem in which students drag coins and/or dollars to indicate how much money they need to make a purchase of up to 3 items and adding the prices.
This no-prep digital interactive slide set (taken from the Middle & High School Morning Meeting Starter Kit) is already differentiated with skills starting with making single purchases with $1 bills to adding prices of multiple products. It is designed to present 1 slide per day to the class on an interactive whiteboard, or to a life skills student using a device. But it can easily be adapted and set up for just the slides you want to use for the activity. Just rearrange the slides.
