Sorting Change
Setting:
classroom or anywhere at home
Ingredients:
Bins
Markers
Paper
Coins
Instructions:
First separate bins and with paper and
markers identify what coins are to be placed in that specific bin (with a
picture if able)
Next put a bunch of change together and
mix all different denominations.
Have the individual sort the change.
If desired the person can then identify
how much money total was in the bin by using simple math skills.
Purpose: This activity can strengthen IADL’s such
as money management by using simple math skills. It can also work on sequencing by identification of the coins and problem solving as to which bin the coin
belongs. Fine motor skills are used when picking out the desired coin from the
mixture of coins and placing it where it belongs. Simple math skills and
identification of money can help younger individuals in math classes and
problem solving that they will need in school.
