Institute a rule wherby you have only four options as to the size of your bet and make these options:

Check, 1/4 pot, 1/2 pot or the pot.

Not a good idea. If you take away the opportunity to bet any amount up to the pot, you take away the ability for people to make mistakes.

My suggestion is just to deal with a slower game until everyone gets used to counting the pot. You can make it a little easier by going with two blinds of the same size. If you go with two differing blind sizes, just don't count the SB in the size of the pot for bet size purposes.

Also, until people are comfortable, you could stack the pot into stacks of a specific size so you can tell at a glance how much is there. It's not ideal but will speed up the game.
