NOTE ABOUT REALISTIC TEACHING MONEY
Lifelike bills are highly recommended because learning disabled students have great difficulty generalizing or applying practice to real-life situations. Learning the basic concepts using real coins and life-like bills, will assure that understanding is transferred to real problem-solving.
Play money and plastic coins and counters are of limited value to dyscalculic students. Obviously, the lifelike bills used here are solely intended to illustrate place value in the Base 10 system.
