The money program is good. Overall this is a good resouse to be used when teaching, but can be difficult to read and/or stay interested in if a student was to go through the entire activity on their own.
What math does one need to know to use the resource?
Basic understanding of American money (coins and bills) as well as adding money.
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource?
Use of the mouse and the internet (clicking links to go forward and backward, click and drag...).
What extra things must be done to make it work?
The students should have good reading and comprehension abilities if expected to use the site on their own.
How hard was it for you to learn?
Ok
