Disability category | mentally challenged autism |
Teaching units / Applicable scenes | arithmetic, mathematics |
Specific purposes |
To enable the child to: • pay the exact amount of money by combining coins, keeping positional notation (i.e., the ones place, the tens place, and the hundreds place) in mind • generalize the act of paying money in an actual payment situation such as shopping |
Considerations for disability characteristics |
• The child’s favorite items (such as sweets for a snack and fares for a field trip) were used as subjects. • To enable him to understand positional notation, I prepared trays with vertical rows and made him put the coins in each row of the tray according to the denomination of each coin. • Slides on a tablet terminal were used to enable the child easily to confirm the correct answers. |
Expected effects and results |
• The child can now pay the exact amount of money presented. • When being told the bus fare during field trips, he is now able to take out the exact amount of money from his purse. |
How to use |
1. Confirm the price. • Confirm the item and its price, as presented on the tablet terminal. 2. Pay the money • Put the coins in the tray placed in front of the tablet terminal. 3. Confirm the answer. • Operate the tablet terminal to confirm the answer. |
