How to play
Counting Money has 3 main components:
1. Practice
2. Fish Tank
3. BINGO

Difficulty can be easily adjusted by toggling the buttons at the top left of the practice screen. Practice modes and advanced settings can be accessed by tapping the menu button at the bottom of the practice screen. When 10 questions in practice mode have been answered correctly there is a bonus opportunity. Please see “2. Fish Tank” below.
There are 3 different practice modes:
Look and Make: Amounts are presented visually as digits and must represented by adding and subtracting money.

2. Fish Tank
When 10 questions in practice mode have been answered correctly the total money counted can be used to purchase an item for the fish tank!
