Next Dollar in Mock Settings

  • admin

Using next dollar in mock settings is one way to begin instruction for community activities.

Here is one way to do this. Print off a variety of pictures and laminate them. Print/create price tags and laminate those as well. Don’t have time to find the pictures and price tags? We have done it for you. Check out this link for free downloadable pictures, including price tags and a scoring sheet.

products with price tabs

On the price tags, write in the amount due for the product. This can be done using a dry erase marker, so it is easily changed or in a permanent marker to help prevent smearing.

For the next dollar activities in the classroom, I have pictures that could range in cost. These items are broken into groups: items under $5.00; items under $10.00; items under $15.00; and items under $20.00. This allows me to use the same activity with students of varying ability levels.

scoring sheet

Each student has their own scoring sheet. This scoring sheet notes each problem as “next dollar problem #1, #2,” etc, which allows me to make multiple copies of the same page and just add the different students’ names.

Using money is a critical skill for my students and your as well. These basic skills can begin in the classroom and move on into the community for the actual life skills approach. How do you teach next dollar? What are some of your strategies?

I am beyond grateful to have materials from SpecialEd Simplified! The lessons are broken down and accessible for all of my students. It is much easier to focus on delivering meaningful instruction when I don’t have to worry about developing the lessons myself.

SpecialEdSimplified has been a lifesaver! Their Alternate Assessment products are aligned to the standards with multiple formats to allow access for all students.

The curriculum is a time saver for busy teachers. The curriculum gives me a place to start instruction, and I don’t have to put in hours searching for picture symbols or coming up with my own ideas from scratch.

I teach a wide variety of grades.  I'm in a small school that has middle and high schools combined.  I teach 6 grades.  So, having pre-made materials that I could print and sort by student made it easy for me to stay organized while working with multiple students on multiple grade levels, ability levels, and subjects all at the same time.  This same binder system also eliminated the need for substitute lesson plan preps as my paraprofessional and the sub were able to easily see where each student was at that moment and continue instruction.

Trying to teach standards to students with significant cognitive, communication, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills deficits is like trying to catch a wild muddy hog! Thankfully SpecialEdSimplified has done exactly what their name says! Taken abstract standards and turned them into accessible and simplified standards for my students. SpecialEdSimplified not only simplified the standards but also my lesson plans!
