What: Sticker Shop is a strategy game focusing on the value of coins. The object of the game is to purchase (collect) as many stickers and as quickly as possible with a variety of purchasing strategies. Students must manipulate the coins to get the most stickers. The mathematical concepts covers are

• Count and compare coins to total $2.00 or less • Identify and use the correct symbols: $, ¢, and

decimal point.

How: Students choose a sticker from the sticker book and the storekeeper says the price. A representative penny, nickel, dime, and quarter are at the bottom of the screen. The student pushes coins, one by one, onto the counter until the correct purchase price is met.
