Managing Money

For many students learning to find and use a £1.00 coin is the most important step to handling money independently .This does not require knowledge about all the other coins and their value but once students have this skill here are some ideas for developing money handling skills further:
Money skills at Milestone 7 and Milestone 8 are about recognising coins and notes. At Entry 1 students are asked to know the value of coins and notes.
Developing coin recognition is best done through lots of handling money but here are a few other things to help vary learning styles

Naming coins and recognition by the shape using the theme of a Vending machine from the Learning Portal.
Interactive Computer Activity needs sound .Student should be able to use a mouse. Self Checking .

Recognition of coins up to 50p using a fruit machine from Crickweb

Recognition of coins up to 2.00 using a fruit machine from Crickweb

Make Bingo cards using the small coins from the printable sheets at Senteacher.org
They also have large coins which can be printed in colour and laminated .Use these to help the Bingo game or use them in a Target Game where you have to throw a bean bag on to coins.This can be used to develop understanding of the value of coins as well as coin recognition.

In the Milestone 8 number

resource section at Skills workshop.

use the set of resources adapted from Entry 1 Skills for Life materials .It uses money to teach number skills such as more /less/the same. There is also a number recognition page based around vending machines which would tie in with the learning portal game mentioned above.

At Entry 1 you can use the Skills for Life materials

Entry 1 unit 2 .An excellent resource. Lots of colour pictures .

Keeping money safe and looking after your own money is another important area to explore with students with a learning disability.If you are following Edexcel Managing Money at Entry 1 and 2 these will be useful

Ben visiting a cafe and spending his

own money . View this on the excellent

MENCAP website

It also has links to Being in Control a booklet

from Enable which may be too advanced for

some (entry 2) to use as a whole but has great

illustrations and information on banks and budgeting.




When you are exploring banks
you could use the Interactive ATM











or order a DVD from Speak up on Opening a Bank account .

You can view a sample on the website before you buy.

Telling the Time

I have a project I like to do on time called The Human Clock.
I have been able to use this with mixed ability groups ( basic skills ranging from Milestone 8 - Entry 3 ). The website shows a photograph depicting the current time every minute of the day. Each minute there is a different picture, many sent in by the web site viewers.The pictures are taken all around the world, some are clear like the bike shop photo others more obscure, for example the beach scene at Rimini.

The students have fun spotting the time in the pictures.

The next step is to use the digital camera to create your own photos using the college environment.These can then be made into a PowerPoint presentation and viewed as a resource for teaching the time. Still photos make a good wall display either arranged in a time line or to look like a clock. Clock faces can be put along side the photos to further reinforce skills.
Some of the resources I use are :

Real clocks.

Clock faces to print out from Northern grid for Learning.

Print outs of clocks covering hours,half past ,quarter to and quarter past .Available from Senteacher printables section.

Interactive games
Stop the Clock 1 O'clock and half past matching digital and analogue.
Stop the Clock 2 15 minute interval matching digital and analogue.
Stop the Clock 3 5 minute interval matching digital and analogue.
Stop the Clock 4 1 minute interval matching digital and analogue.
Stop the Clock 5 1 minute interval matching digital and analogue 24 hour clock.
Only Fools and Horses BBC Skillswise interactive game teaching the 24 hour clock.
Interactive Whiteboard
Interactive clock on Oswego.org . Gives a clock to put on the whiteboard -allows you to demonstrate times showing the correct movement of the hands.
Digital timer. helps teach awareness of time. Click on the help section if you are not sure how it works.
Class Timer helps teach awareness of time.
Virtual stop watch helps teach awareness of time.

Teaching time starts with an awareness of key events and an understanding of morning afternoon and evening. ( Entry 1 skill ). To begin to tell the time the student must be able to read, recognise order and understand the value of numbers. They must also be able to tell the difference between the length of the two hands of the clock. With these skills they can begin to learn o'clock . The Core Curriculum puts this as an Entry 2 Skill. After that comes a whole load of higher level skills including:
Counting and ordering numbers to 60
counting in 5's and 10's
Counting on .
Matching the level of number skill to the appropriate level time skill helped me set realistic targets for the students.
