Student Workbook – Money
Introduction to the resource for teachers
These notes are designed to supplement the PowerPoint presentations
and student workbooks that support the Measure, Number, Money and
Information Handling topics within the unit entitled Using Mathematics

Alongside each PowerPoint presentation is a student workbook that
should be completed by students while they are progressing through the
PowerPoint.
The PowerPoint presentations can be delivered as a whole -class activity
with the students completing their work as a group, or they c an be used
by individuals or small groups if ICT access allows. Be aware that a
greater level of literacy is required for some slides, which could
determine the most suitable approach to learning for some students.
