Counting Pennies
Count out pennies from the cash drawer. Encourage children to enter the number of
pennies that you count out. With practice, children will be able to enter the amount of
pennies that they have counted themselves.
Beginning Addition
Use the calculator for beginning addition. Use pennies, blocks or other counters to help
children visualize the addition process. Group counters into piles that are less than ten.
Count one pile and enter its total into the register. Count the other pile and add it to the
first. Show children how the calculator added the two piles together. Push the counter piles
together and check the calculator’s addition.
School-Age Children
School-age children are ready to begin working with the calculator. Use the calculator to
reinforce basic maths facts, not replace them.
How Many?
Use the multiplication feature of the calculator to determine how many fingers there are in
the classroom. Count the children in the room and multiply by ten. Use the same method to
calculate how many eyes there are in the classroom.
How Old are We?
Use the calculator to add the ages of everyone in the classroom.
Let’s Go Shopping!
You need:
- Calculator Cash Register - Play foods
- Money - Shopping bags
- Empty grocery boxes and containers - Coupons
To play:
Create a “supermarket” by arranging products on shelves, the floor, on tables or even on
a row of chairs! Put prices on items for sale. (Keep prices in the single digits for young
children. Use double digits and notes for older children.) Make a shopping list and use
coupons. Encourage children to take turns being shoppers or the check-out person. Both
jobs are fun!
Use language to reinforce learning as you play: “Oh, you’ve bought 5 cans of peas!” or
“I’m sorry, you gave me less money than I need. Could I please have a pound more?” Don’t
limit your language to real life; use your imagination! This can be very entertaining (and
educational) for all ages.
Shoe Shop
You need:
- Calculator Cash Register - Money
- Assorted men’s, women’s, children’s and babies shoes - Ruler
To play:
Help children set up a shoe shop! Jumble shoes into a pile and let the children
sort them into pairs and arrange them by size. Place the shoes on the floor or on shelves
for viewing. Suggest prices for shoes based on their appearance and type. (Use single-digit
whole pound amounts for younger children and larger denominations for older children.)
Encourage children to take turns being customers, salespeople or the check-out person.
Measure children’s feet with a ruler. You may want to make a chart to record foot size.
The fit of the shoes is not as important as the opportunities for language enrichment and
number reinforcement: “Those shoes are too big!” or “I think these shoes are too small for
you, but they might fit your baby sister.” Children will appreciate your humour as you try to
wear a pair of shoes that is obviously too small or too large. Help the check-out person to
total the amount owed and give change.
Lunch Time!
You need:
- Calculator Cash Register - Money
- Magazine photos of food or children’s - Paper plates
drawings of their favourite foods
To play:
Set up a cafeteria! Price food items with realistic values. For example, drinks and desserts
should cost less than main courses. Arrange the food on a long table. Children can select
their food, put it on their paper plates, and pay at the cash register.
All Aboard!
You need:
- Calculator Cash Register - Tickets - Local map
- Money - Row of chairs
To play:
Create a train station! Use the map to decide where your railway will go. Plot the route for
the imaginary train and make tickets with prices based upon destinations!
Decide who will be passengers and who will be the ticket seller, the conductor and the
driver. Children may want to have attendants who pass out snacks or magazines. Let their
imaginations make up the play.
Weigh it, Stamp it, Post it!
You need:
- Calculator Cash Register - Small boxes wrapped in brown paper
- Money - Scale for weighing letters and packages
- Envelopes from opened post - Rubber stamps
- Old stamps or stickers - Pretend postbox
To play:
Children love to send and receive post, and they will really enjoy creating their own
post office! There are letters to be written, stamps to be purchased, change to be given,
packages to weigh and deliver; it’s a game that can incorporate reading, writing and maths!
Encourage children to create their own roles. Some children might want to write letters or
notes that need to be weighed, stamped and delivered. Create prices for various services:
for example, extra-speedy delivery will cost more. Make sure that all children receive some
post.
Care and maintenance:
• No assembly is required.
• Periodic cleaning with a clean, dry cloth is recommended. • Store at room temperature.
• Do not expose to moisture, heat or direct sunlight.
