Financial Literacy



As part of our maths programme we have been focusing on money and financial literacy.

We have discussed and explored a range of topics including:
    • What is money?
    • Why is it important to be financially literate?
    • Working with decimals.
    • The history of money in New Zealand
    • Needs and Wants.
    • Budgeting
    • Hidden costs
    • Mobile plans and analysing needs
    • Incorporating financial literacy into our unit, looking at currency conversion and spending in Spain.
      We were also really lucky to have a representative from ASB run a workshop with the students. He was awesome and covered a huge amount in an hour session.
