Money tool
A free Australian money workspace for building amounts with coins and notes, counting totals and modelling dollars and cents.
Running total
The total updates as coins and notes are added or removed so students can track the value of the collection.
Add and remove
Click money into the tray, remove individual pieces, undo the last action or clear the whole workspace.
Classroom display
Use it for quick whole-class modelling before students solve shopping, change or money comparison tasks.
What the tool does
The money tool gives teachers and students a clean screen-based way to build Australian money amounts without needing physical coins and notes for every example.

How teachers use it

Why it is useful
Money understanding grows when students can connect the visible coins and notes to the value they represent.
