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.”

“I didn't use the kit as I didn't order it until half way through the year and I was wanting to use it for my senior financial literacy classes. By the time I had received it we were working on a different topic but I am wanting to use it next year for one of the my senior classes that are a lower level numeracy so being able to understand how tax works etc would be really helpful for them.”
