The lesson follows Samir going out for the day with his friends to spend his birthday money. During the activity, we cover topics such as value for money, creating a budget and making payments.
By the end of the activity pupils will be able to:
• Understand key financial terminology.
• Understand the value of money, how to manage and use money in an increasingly digital or cashless society and how to keep money safe.
• Use problem solving skills to work out where Samir’s missing money may have gone.
