Hands-on first
Students work with physical coins and bills, not a touchscreen.
A box of play money plus step-by-step lessons, built for elementary and middle schoolers with IEPs.
How it works
Real money skills, one step at a time.
The kit pairs things students can touch with a lesson the whole class follows together.
- 1
Open the box
Every student gets a wallet, coins, bills, and price tags they can hold and move.
- 2
Play the lesson
The teacher puts a lesson on the board. FinGoose is the cashier and walks through one small step at a time.
- 3
Pause and do it
At every “Your turn,” the teacher pauses while students use their real kit items. No tapping on screens.
What’s in the box
Everything students need to practice paying.
Each kit is made for one student, so everyone can follow along at their own desk.
- Play wallet
Velcro wallet that holds bills and a coin pouch.
- Practice coins
Real-size pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
- Practice bills
$1 and $5 bills with clear, large numbers.
- Price tags
Matching tags for every item in the lessons.
- Coin mat
A counting mat with one spot for each coin.
- Receipt pad
Simple receipts students fill in after paying.
Lessons
Six lessons, from first coins to making change.
Each one opens full screen for the classroom board. FinGoose plays the cashier, and every “Your turn” is a moment for students to use their kit.

Tip: plug in a presentation clicker. Next and Back work just like slides.
Built for IEP classrooms
Designed around how students learn best.
Teacher-paced
Nothing moves on its own. Pause on any step for as long as the class needs.
Small steps
Each lesson breaks one real-life exchange into short, predictable steps.
Read aloud
Any step can be read out loud for students who are still building reading skills.
Big and calm
Large text, clear pictures, and no flashing or timers. Works full screen on a projector.
Real places
Grocery stores, cafeterias, and shops students actually visit.
