Australian Counting Matching

Click on “Australian Counting Matching" and then click the “Enter" button to open this program.

The default selections for this program are Level 3, Command Text, Prompt with Blink, Congratulatory Animation, Coins, and Numerical Label under Coin or note.

Here coins or notes are shown at the top of the screen. The student is asked to click on the box whose coins or notes match the value of the coins or notes shown in the box at the top of the screen. When the student clicks on the correct box at the bottom, it moves into the space in the middle of the screen and congratulatory animation appears.

Selection
Level 1
In Level 1, only the correct coin or note appears at the bottom of the screen to be matched with the coin or note appearing at the top of the screen.

Level 2
The correct coin or note plus one distracter appears at the bottom of the screen.

Level 3
The correct coin or note plus two distracters appear at the bottom of the screen.

Coins
This is checked by default. If the “Coins" box is checked only coins will appear on the screen.

Notes
If the “Notes" box is checked only notes will appear on the screen.

Numerical Label under coin or note or No Label under coin or note
If this box is checked the value of the coin or note appears under the picture of the coin or note. When this is checked, “No Label under Coin or note" is unchecked, and vice versa.

Prompt (Blink)
This is checked by default. If the student fails to type or click the correct value within ten seconds, the program guides him/her to the correct value by making the coin or note blink.

Command Text
This is the default setting. The text “Click the box on the bottom with the same value as the box at the top" will appear at the bottom of the screen. If this is not checked the text will not appear.

Congratulatory Animation
This box is checked by default. When this is checked, clicking the correct value invites a congratulatory animation. This animation runs for ten seconds. Click anywhere on the screen or press space bar to stop the congratulatory animation. Uncheck the box if the student doesn't need congratulatory animation.
