Guide

The Pretend and Play®Calculator Cash Register encourages

children to learn basic math and calculator skills while it enhances

imaginary play. This unique educational toy features a working

calculator that will familiarize children, from pre-school age up, with

the use of a calculator while they play. The large buttons on the

keypad are easy for little hands to press and the cash draw is

large enough to hold life-size bill and coins.

Children will naturally learn to add and subtract when they use the

Calculator Cash Register for pretend and play, selling products in

their ”store”, ringing up purchases and making change.

Calculator Activities

Calculator features:

• Calculator runs on solar power

• Extra large buttons for small hands to manipulate

• An eight digit display

• Error function to show entry mistakes

• Repetitive equal sign for multi-item purchases

• Negative function for teaching integers

• Student entered order of operations for learning skills

Preschool Age Children

Preschool age children will appreciate the realism the working

calculator adds to imaginative play.Although preschool age

children are not developmentally ready to fully utilize all of the

calculator features, playing with the Calculator Cash Register

will help them become familiar with the keys and numerals on

the calculator.

Numerals 1 through 9

Enter the number one, and show children the one on the display.

Then have children enter the number. Repeat with other numbers.

Demonstrate how children can enter numbers larger than nine. As

children becomes adept at copying your numbers, they will begin

entering numbers of their own. Call out a number for children to

enter on the calculator.

Counting Pennies

Count out pennies from the cash drawer. Encourage children to

enter the number of pennies you count out. With practice, children

will be able to enter the amount of pennies that they have counted

themselves.

Beginning Addition

Use the calculator for beginning addition. Use pennies, blocks,

or other counters to help children visualize the addition process.

Group counters into piles that are less than ten. Count one pile

and enter its total into the register. Count the other pile and add it

to the first. Show children how the calculator added the two piles

together. Push the counter piles together and check the

calculator’s addition.

School Age Children

School age children are ready to begin working with the calculator.

Use the calculator to augment basic math facts, not replace them.

How Many

Use the multiplication feature of the calculator to determine how

many fingers there are in the class-room. Count the children in the

room and multiply by ten. Use the same method to calculate how

many eyes there are in the classroom.

How Old are We

Use the calculator to add the ages of everyone in the classroom.

Let’s Go Shopping!

You Need:

Calculator Cash Register

Money

Empty grocery boxes

and containers

Play fruits

Play foods

Shopping bags

Coupons

To Play:

Create a ”supermarket” by arranging products on shelves, the

floor, on tables, or even on a row of chairs! Put prices on items for

sale. (Keep prices in the single digits for young children. Use

double digits and dollars for older children.) Make a shopping list

and use coupons. Encourage children to take turns being

shoppers or the check-out person. Both jobs are fun!

Use language to reinforce learning as you play: ”Oh, you’ve

bought 5 cans of peas!” or ”I’m sorry, you gave me less money

than I need. Could I please have a dollar more?” Don’t limit your

language to real life, use your imagination! This can be very

entertaining (and educational) for all ages. Adult participation adds

excitement and richness that can’t be duplicated.

Money

Ruler

Assorted men’s, women’s,

children’s and baby’s shoes

To Play:

Help children set up a shoe shop! Jumble shoes into a pile and let

the children sort them into pairs and arrange them by size. Place

the shoes on the floor or on shelves for viewing. Suggest prices

for shoes based on their appearance and type. (Use single digit

whole dollar amounts for younger children and larger

denominations for older children.) Encourage children to take

turns being customers, salespeople, or the check-out person.

Measure children’s feet with a ruler. You may want to make a chart

to record foot size. The fit of the shoes is not as important as the

opportunities for language enrichment and number reinforcement.

”Those shoes are too big!” ”I think these shoes are too small for

you, but they might fit your baby sister.” Children will appreciate

your humor as you try to wear a pair of shoes that is obviously too

small or too large. Help the check-out person ring up the amount

owed and make change.

their paper plates, and pay at the cash register.

will go. Plot the route for the imaginary train and make tickets with

prices based upon destinations!

Decide who will be passengers, who will be the ticket seller, the

conductor, and the engineer. Children may want to have

attendants who pass out snacks or magazines. Let their

imaginations make up the play. The ticket seller, attendants and

vendors are responsible for collecting money and making change.

The conductor gets the important job of calling out “All Aboard!”

The more children are involved in planning their journey, the more

fun it will be!
