What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Financial literacy is important and it connects to the politics unit I teach. At the end, they as the government decide how taxes are going to be spent and this helps them realsie that government money is their tax money so they better participate in politics if they want their money to be used properly!
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) Social science/economics unit.

“If you plan this well with some very clear, simple slides and print outs you can do this activity. Some of the sheets have lots of info that kids have to get from different places so I would recommend editing the pdf print outs to make that clearer e.g. on the character info sheet, I colour coded each area for learners so that they knew where to find informaiton. I also edited each payslip with salary and student loan information. The idea behind this is good and it's fun for kids to get into it but it needs some little touches here and there for simplification. Don't do all of it e.g. making them get their IRD numbers if you don't have time for it.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I was teaching Maths and financial literacy in term 4 and I wanted something fun and engaging to end the 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 also print out some worksheets to further reinforce the math side of taxes.

Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? The name tags as students got to explore different jobs that relates to real life and see how much they earn and how much they get taxed compared to their friends. I used this along side the PAYE calculator.

Which part/s of the kit grabbed the attention of your students and engaged them the most? Tax distribution. They were able to link it to social studies where they were creating their own country. It was fun to let them choose how they want to distribute tax in their own country and compare it to New Zealand.

“The resources in this kit has helped my students understand how to look at a payslip, what tax brackets they are suppose to be in and how to use different tools to help them calculate tax. They particularly liked the role plays where they got to be hands on and try all these tools and knowledge out themselves.”
