● Representing the relationship between coins and bills. (e.g., There are 8 quarters in a toonie)
● Adding and subtracting money amounts by making simulated purchases and providing change
● Exploring place value and unit conversions
● Multiplicative thinking
● Anchors of 2, 5 and 10


Features:

● Customize the allowable set of currencies
● Resize images for easier manipulation
● Show labels indicating the value of each currency
● Set the units of these labels to indicate dollars or cents
● Set the number of copies to drag from the cash drawer
● Step through a history of your work with the undo/redo buttons
● Check to see how many of each type of currency are in the workspace
● Multiple select items in the workspace, then copy, move or recycle as a group
● Communicate your thinking or highlight various features of your representation using the built-in annotation tool.
● Import multiple images, position and resize them
● Switch between English and French
