We have had a brilliant week thinking about money and how to be responsible with it.<\/p>\n

Adverts and Influencers<\/strong><\/p>\n

We discussed how adverts and influencers can make us spend money on things we want but might not need. We spoke about adverts and what we had been tempted to buy.\u00a0 We discussed the difference between want and need.<\/p>\n

Tesco Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had to guess the price of food items from Tesco. We were actually quite shocked at the price of some simple items that we all have in our kitchen cupboards.\u00a0 We discussed the importance of sticking to a budget.<\/p>\n

Setting up a Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our leadership for Maths Week Scotland the pupils were keen to set up a shop.\u00a0 We worked alongside Mrs Nisbet and Primary 5. Tills and plastic fruit and vegetables were sourced.\u00a0 The fruit and vegetables were labelled.\u00a0 Challenges were set for the class to buy things within a certain budget.<\/p>\n

Maths Posters and Figures<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also made posters and money figures before Maths Week so everybody knew it was going to be about money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Board Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

We spoke about good and bad money choices.\u00a0 We then created money board games using these choices as cards in the game.\u00a0 We worked in pairs and our boards had to be bright and attractive.<\/p>\n

Pupil Voice<\/strong><\/p>\n

I liked making the money games because it was good to work with a partner.<\/em><\/p>\n

My favourite thing about Maths Week Scotland was making the game.<\/em><\/p>\n

I learned that spending all your money on the first thing is not good.<\/em><\/p>\n
