Money Money Money . . .

Money and Financial Education are an important part of Curriculum for Excellence. This week is Financial Education week within Maths. It is extremely important for pupils to have a concept of money, especially in today’s culture when many transactions take electronic form.

This week we are learning to:

  • Use money to pay for items
  • Know how to budget money effectively
  • Understand the term ‘overspending’

We are delivering this through stories which explore Financial Education themes, as well as using games and numerical activities.

Here are two games that you can play to explore Money further:

See you tomorrow,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice
