Great Tool for Classroom
I am a special education teacher with a class of ninth and tenth graders. My students have a garden and sell the vegetables at a weekly farmers market. They also make crafts and baked goods. The goal of the farmers market is to help students with social skills, math, and executive function skills. The Cashier app allows my students to organize their products by type and arrange the icons on the page by assigning icons to a specific row and column. This allowed for a discussion about how to classify our products. Students also can see applications of matrices. Furthermore, my students take the data to monitor inventory and are graphing sales by time of day and amount sold to make decisions for preparing for next weeks inventory. My students will be in the work place in a few years and it is important they feel comfortable with using technology. By using this app, my students can focus on interpersonal skills and executive functioning skills. My students are nervous about interacting with customers and making mistakes. The app displays the items already entered so my students can go back and check that they have entered the customers selection correctly. With pencil and paper or a calculator, it can be confusing which items have been entered. Once, my students are comfortable with running the market, I will ask one student to use the app and the other to use mental math. However, it is the data analysis that is more important to me. We can use the data collected using Cashier in math class to analyze our sales. This app has many options for customization. My students enjoyed taking pictures of their inventory for the register screen. If I had a small business, I would use this app.
