It’s essential that the numbers add up in these rough and tumble financial times which is why we’re doing a Managing Your Money Spotlight in September.
We think it’s time to take stock, invest your interest and give credit where credit’s due as Tim & Moby get clued up on money matters. The Spotlight will feature Maths topics like Basic Probability and Finding Percentages as well as personal finance topics like Stocks and Shares and Credit Cards.
Here comes the interesting bit…
Teach Primary magazine are putting together a special Maths focus for September which ties in ever so nicely with our Spotlight. So we’ve booked one page in the magazine to showcase a KS2 teacher’s thoughts and opinions on teaching financial skills and understanding to 7-11 year olds. This is your chance to share what works in your class with over 20,000 Teach Primary readers.
What do you do in your classroom, or see reflected at home with your kids, to teach them how to save and spend wisely?
- What resources do you use?
- Are your kids “money sensible” or total spendaholics?
- Do they understand credit, interest or saving or the ‘value’ of money?
- How have you explained the “credit crunch”?
- What worries your pupils about the current financial crisis? What questions are they asking?
- How do you use Maths in your financial literacy lessons?
So, if you think you can help us, please submit your idea(s) and we’ll discuss the next steps. The article is 500 words and will be published in the September issue of Teach Primary magazine. The deadline for submission is 5th August. If more than one teacher submits an idea we withhold the right to approve the final decision as to which author we choose.
We promise it’ll be fun and a worthwhile thing to do. We’ll also promote your article in POPtalk with the BrainPOP UK community. In return we’ll recompense you accordingly with an economically viable free 6 month subscription to BrainPOP UK and a goody bag too.
