Attainment Company has produced several functional math programs over the years. As technology continues to change and advance, so do Attainment’s collection of math resources. We now offer an introductory iPad app that teaches a variety of money skills: Dollars and Cents Free. Dollars and Cents Free features three progressive programs with options to use either U.S. or Canadian currency: Counting Coins, Spending Money, and Making Change. All of the programs feature clear, realistic graphics and an easy-to-navigate interface. Plus, this money talks! Personalize each program: select activities, determine which coins and bills are presented, choose U.S. or Canadian currency, and set scanning options.

Counting Coins has four activities: Naming, Matching, Sorting, and Vending Machine.

In Spending Money, students shop for items and pay for them with computer cash, using the exact amount or the next-dollar approach.

In Making Change, the most advanced program, students function as store clerks, entering purchases and giving back change.

Dollars and Cents is a great way to integrate functional activities into your math curriculum. Ideal for adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities, including autism.

Ratings and reviews

This game is good for your basic math skills (adding and subtracting) but that's all of it's good features. There's no challenge because it has no levels to beat and no time limit to achieve. So that gives it 3 stars, imo. Whoever created this game needs a new job.

I have to press the buttons multiple times and very slowly. It's very slow in general and the money part is very basic. As if anyone only ever hands over $20 bills and quarters. It'd be nice if they added more complex change challenges with the nickels and dimes and pennies.

I never learned how to count change I'm always off on my math adding the 5's and 10's plus I have an anxiety problem.. This has been a great tool for me, without having to do this in front of people and others standing in line behind you waiting on you to hurry up! 😲
