What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students?
To teach them some financial literacy and to see how the unit could assist me when it becomes compulsory to teach financial literacy within Social Science next year.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans)
I would be using it to support the teaching of financial literacy within the Social Science curriculum.

How would you rate the change in your own understanding of Tax systems and what it contributes to, prior to engaging with the kit?
Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why?
The brainstorm on what tax is and what they are used for to help communities to provide services. The other part was being able to follow a person and look at a payslip/tax, kiwisaver etc and see how it all works together.
