What are some websites with math games that will help me count money at the register?

honestly, i have a hard time counting out money by customers and then giving back their change. i always double check to make sure its right but this obviously takes more time than something like this should. if you could send me links to little games that would improve my money counting skills Please let me know!

thank you so much.. :)What are some websites with math games that will help me count money at the register?
I would suggest you improve your spatial ability by making little games for yourself in everyday life.



As an example, if you wanna group objects together (how many 5c, 10c, 25c etc.) coins are there you can start by counting how many letters are in each word contained in a sentence.



This can be done on your way to work, watching TV, anywhere really. It will teach you lateral thinking. If your mental math is poor (15 x 25) you can work on this by going through the list of squares from 1 to 50.



Here is the general method I use for multiplication below 100.

64 x 23 = (60 + 4) x (20 + 3) = (60)(20) + (20)(4) + (3)(60) + (3)(4)

This utilizes your working memory and ability to store information in unique categories.
