Learning Activities
There are four learning activities built in to the Teaching Cash Register. Each of the activities
features three levels of difficulty. Play and explore each of the activities so that you can determine
which level is right for your child.
The Teaching Cash Register will offer positive reinforcement for correct answers and gentle
encouragement to try again for incorrect answers in ADDITION, SUBTRACTION & MONEY MATCH
games. If an incorrect answer is entered two times in a row, the Teaching Cash Register will give
your child the correct answer and move on to the next question.
COIN QUIZ – This activity will help children learn to identify different coins and their value. There
are three levels of difficulty. The game will always start in Level 1. If your child is already familiar
with coins and needs more of a challenge, press the COIN QUIZ key twice to reach Level 2. For the
most difficult challenge, press the COIN QUIZ key three times to reach Level 3. Press the ENTER
key to begin the activity.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please wait for the Teaching Cash Register to stop speaking before you insert
coins. Coins will not be recognized if you insert them while the register is speaking.
Level 1 At this level, the Teaching Cash Register will ask your child to find and insert a
specific coin.
Level 2 At this level, the register will ask your child to insert a specific amount of money. For
example, it might ask for $0.37. The child would need to find the correct combination
of coins to add up to $0.37. Coins can be in any combination that the child likes as
long as they add up to the amount on the screen. When your child feels confident of
the amount, press the ENTER button to compare. If the incorrect amount is inserted,
he or she will be given another chance. The Teaching Cash Register will give positive
reinforcement for the correct answer and move to the next question.
Level 3 In this level, the register will ask your child to insert a specific amount of money, but it
will specify a coin that cannot be used.
