Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? The parts that covered general key concepts relating to financial literacy and the financial calculators were probably the most useful. Indirectly, the kit was also helpful in terms of providing me with general ideas of activity types that I could use with my students.

“This set of resources was most valuable for providing a foundation for teaching financial literacy in a Year 10 Social Studies programme. The resources are visually appealing and well researched. Dear 13 year old me would likely be very helpful to anyone teaching Year 9 or 10 students about this topic.”
