What is Mala Banka?
Mala Banka is a new tool for encouraging calculation skills and using money, developed according to the needs of Croatian experts in the field of upbringing and education. What makes Mala Banka unique in the sea of ​​other applications that are currently available is its complete adaptability to Croatian users. By using the local currency, the Croatian kuna, players can more easily connect what they see on the screen with real situations from everyday life.
What skills does Mala Bank encourage?
Little Bank helps players to learn what our money looks like, to add, subtract and compare the values ​​of money and gives them the opportunity to spend only what they have earned.
In order for the players to have a good time, there is a nice group - Mrki Medo, Kuna Bankarica and Kasica Pisica. Each of the characters will lead the players through a certain area through a series of tasks, the complexity of which is graded from less to greater.
Memory of Mrko Meda
Memory Mrkog Meda is a memory game in which you need to remember where a coin or banknote is hidden in order to be able to match it and win a point! With the help of this game, beginners in the field of using money can more easily learn to visually recognize and distinguish banknotes and coins.
Kuna Banker
Kuna Bankarica encourages children to harness their gray cells and apply mathematical knowledge. Everything they have learned in math lessons about comparison, addition and subtraction, they now have to use in money problems. The complexity of the task can be adjusted to the player's capabilities.
Piggy bank
Kasica Pisica represents the final game of Little Bank, which combines all the skills acquired through the games Memory Mrkog Meda and Kuna Bankarica and generalizes them to the purchase situation. The player guides Piggy Bank along winding roads, collects money and at the end of the path awaits him a shop where there is only one rule - you can only spend what you have collected!
Who is Mala Banka intended for?
It is intended primarily for children of elementary school age, but it is also suitable for the population that learns to manage money a little later. All games are time-limited, which allows all players to take as much time as they need to successfully solve the task. Little Bank can be played with a joystick, keyboard, computer mouse and touch control so that all players can participate equally in the game regardless of their motor skills. One of the main advantages of the application is that it allows students with motor disabilities to learn about money without the usual paper models of bills!
In addition, all games are suitable for both individual and group play. Small Bank is great for use in inclusive classes using an interactive board - it allows the whole class to come together and solve tasks together.
