Items from our Math AT Library T-TAC/ODUThe Coin-u-lator is a hand-held, coin-countingcalculator that makes counting money fun and easy.This breakthrough invention in counting coins waspatented by a special education teacher for studentsof all ages.Coin AbacusThe Coin-u-lator allows individuals of all abilities toadd and subtract various denominations of coins whileit teaches the different values of each coin. It can addor subtract any combination of coins and bills up to 99.99, and it has two different coin games.The Coin Abacus makes the money-counting processeasy because students see the coins and dollar billsas they count. Students use their fingers to slide therealistic coins and bills from left to right. When eachcoin or bill reaches the right side, the Coin Abacusdisplays the new total on the easy-to-read LCD screenon the right. When a coin or bill is moved back to theleft, the amount is subtracted from the total. Studentssee how different coin combinations can equal thesame amount of money.Money CalculatorThe Money Calc has two modes: The Money Calc andCalc Mode. In the Money Calc mode, the LCD screenshows values as decimals with the dollar sign, dollars,and cents. For example, when 2.50 is added to 2.50the screen displays 5.00, unlike a traditionalcalculator, which converts the amount to 5. The MoneyCalc can also be used to teach subtraction andcalculate change. In the Calc Mode, the Money Calcfunctions as a traditional calculator for working mathproblems that do not involve money.Coin-u-latorSimplify math computations with this easy-to-usecalculator that 'talks.' The Talking Calculator states allentries and computations in two ways: completenumber speech ('seventy-eight') or digit by digit('seven, eight'). Allows students to see, hear, and learnmath.Talking Calculator
