Money Pieces, by MLC 2.1.0

Money Pieces are a valuable tool for students to visually comprehend money values and relationships. It provides two versions of coins and bills: virtual currency pieces that replicate the appearance and relative size of U.S. coins and the dollar bill, and area money pieces.

Area money pieces illustrate the values of coins and the dollar bill through an area model where 1 square unit equals a penny. Nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars are depicted by collections of squares equal to their respective value. This method enables the use of area pieces to model and compute with fractions and decimals.

FEATURES

• Exchange money for different bill or coin values.
• Show either side (heads or tails) of the currency or money pieces.

• Utilize drawing tools to annotate work and demonstrate understanding.
• Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools.
• Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
