CBI students meet in my classroom to receive direct instruction on English Language Art and Math skills. Functional math skills are those skills that a student needs in order to live independently in the community, to care for themselves, and to make choices about their lives. Functional skills make it possible for our students with disabilities to make choices about where they will live, how they will make money, what they will do with money, and what they will do with their spare time. In order to do these things, they will need to be able to count money, tell time, read a bus schedule, follow directions at work, and know how to check and balance a bank account.

Money
Money, as a functional math skill, has several levels of skill.
-
The first is recognizing money: pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
-
Second, also a lower level skill, is counting money: first a single denomination and later mixed coins.
-
Later, it is important for students to understand the value of money, which will involve budgets and understanding wages and paying bills.
Identifying Coins and Dollars
Students will be able to identify and name coins and bills to ten dollars.
Money skills consist of nine sequenced SKILL SETS with lessons and activities, to teach money concepts that align to IEP objectives and standards. Coins and bills taught herein range from penny to ten dollar bill. Since many students learn though the manipulation of objects, many worksheets and activities in my lesson will use hands-on materials.
​
Skill sets are organized by difficulty and will carefully sequenced from easier to more difficult. As a teacher i will follow my students individual level of learning and go to the next skill set when they are mastered the previews lesson.
Learning to identify and use money in real life situations is fun but challenging. That's because it requires many different skills, such as coin identification, coin values, counting coins, making purchases, and verifying change.In addition, with computerized cash registers, charge cards, and check writing, it's hard for my students to become proficient handling money in the "real world."
