MakeChange - Money counting math game for iPad

iOS iPad

Practice counting change and doing addition problems. A great visual learning tool for your iPad. UPDATED AND ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME!

Slide coins across a surface of your choice. Stack change below the line until you have the amount shown on the register display and check your answer. If your total isn’t correct, you can try the same problem again. The app will also show you the best way to count change so that you use the least number of coins.

A new setting to show the current tally was added. You can turn it on to see how much change you've counted, coin by coin. The tally is updated as each coin slides below the line.

USED IN SCHOOLS

Several educators have contacted me to let me know about pilot programs at their schools that include MakeChange. Feedback from these users has been incorporated into this version. If your school is considering MakeChange and you have questions I'm here to help.

MULTIPLE CURRENCIES

Choose from US, Canadian, and Euro currencies.

Note: friendly user James let me know about the rare usage of the 50-cent Canadian coin. I'll likely remove that coin in the next update, if that's okay.
