Please Provide Paper

Help me give my students facsimile paper money for learning to count, skip count, practice subtraction to make change, and identify various denominations. We are also running critically short of printing paper!

My Project

All of my students have an IEP (individual Education Plan) and are working on an alternate curriculum meaning that their materials are all provided by me. We have weekly reading material that is district mandated and covers math, history, social studies, geography, and health.

Every week, I print multiple hard copies of the materials for my students, differentiated by IEP goals and ability levels, because I prefer to have students hold their own books, turn pages, and point at words being read.

This takes about 150 pages per week. I also need paper for daily worksheets and scratch paper for making tally marks to help them prepare for alternate state testing.

We are also studying US currency in paper money and while I have provided a couple jars of real coins, the only way to teach currency, valuation, and subtraction using skip counting or times tables is with facsimile money that looks realistic.
