Arranging Coins and Bills CAD

Arranging Coins and Bills from Smallest to Biggest Value – Teach currency and ordering skills with confidence

This interactive program helps students identify Canadian coins and bills while learning to place them in ascending order based on value. With simple controls, supportive prompts, and engaging visuals, it builds confidence and skills in money recognition and logical sequencing.

Students begin by clicking “Enter” to start the activity. A coin or bill is shown in the first box, and the student must click the next two coins or bills that come next in increasing value. This intuitive setup trains students to compare, sequence, and understand Canadian currency values in real-life contexts.

Flexible Learning Modes

Test Mode: Turns off help features and tracks results. Ideal for self-assessment and reviewing student progress.

Settings Overview

Located at the bottom left corner of the screen, the Settings menu allows teachers, therapists, or parents to tailor the experience.

Currency Options:

• Coins and Bills (default): Uses both for practice.
• Coins Only: Focuses on coin value comparison.
• Bills Only: Ideal for paper money sequencing.

Prompt (Blink): If the student does not respond within 10 seconds, the correct coin or bill blinks. Enabled in Training Mode by default.

Numerical Labels:

• With Label: Displays values under coins and bills (e.g., “25¢”, “$1”, “$5”).
