-----------------------------
Detailed Program Description:
-----------------------------
Ms. Piggy Bank provides an effective and entertaining way for
children ages 6 to 10 to learn about money. Ms. Piggy Bank offers
6 different money activities, all using high quality speech and
graphics, and full mouse support. The simplest activity teaches
the names and values of coins and bills up to twenty dollars. Your
child will quickly learn the value of each coin as they try to
maneuver a piggy bank to catch falling coins. Your child will
learn, for example, that two quarters are equal to a half dollar
in the Money Equivalents activity. In the Total Money activity
your child will enter the total of the displayed coins and/or bills
on a cash register. The Select Money activity displays a total and
your child selects the coins and/or bills which add up to that total.
An entertaining board game for 1 or 2 players allows your child to
put his newly acquired skills to work, earning money and an
opportunity to visit the Toy Store where he can practice making a
purchase and counting the amount of change received. The program
is easily configurable for children of various ages and skill levels.
