First in MATH - Equal Pay Bonus Game Information

Equal Pay

The Equal Pay bonus game is a wonderful activity for younger students that helps students recognize and count all denominations of coins and bills currently in circulation. Like many First In Math games, it also contains a few twists that encourage students to think ‘outside the box’. All denominations up to $100 bills are included (with exception of the $2 bill, as it is rarely encountered).

Equal Pay BONUS STICKERS: Students are given 1/4 bonus sticker each time they count out the correct amount using the least number of coins/bills possible. At the end of a game, fractional bonus stickers earned are rounded up. The maximum number of bonus stickers a player can earn in each game is 3. At the end of each game, points are converted into stickers using a schedule, see game directions for full details.

Student must correctly select two panels that display equal amounts of money, and then "count out" that same amount using coins and bills. Select a panel by clicking on it. Challenge increases as players advance.

Focus: 1¢ to 99¢ in one-cent increments; 5¢ to $10 in five- and ten-cent increments; 25¢ to $100 in 25- and 50-cent increments and $1.01 to $1,000 in any increment. BONUS stickers are awarded each time student counts out the correct amount using the least number of coins/bills possible.
