DollarSkills is easy-to-use software designed to help students improve the skills needed to solve mathematical problems, such as percents, fractions, decimals, ratios and proportions, and work-time spent. The software provides strategies for students to improve their word problem skills.

After an assessment, the software helps students by breaking down the steps of solving word problems into individual stages: finding the correct numbers to use, finding the words that tell what to do with those numbers, and finding the solution.

Students are able to track their progress through their progress-to-date and session scores. Student scores are kept in a management system that provides teachers with measurable results.

Designed for students in U.S. grades 4 through 9 (age 9 and up). The program can also be used by ESL and adult students interested in improving their math skills.
