Task 1 requires learners to decide on how much of their winnings they would gift, if any, to a charity and/or family and friends. This offers an effective platform for discussion around charities, generosity and their individual value of money. Task two requires the learner to select from a list of items and how they would spend the remaining money. They will write reasons for their choices and share with the rest of the group, which is a great opportunity for speaking and listening and finding common interests within the group. Task Three asks the learners to complete a shopping list and to include costs and keep a running total of their remaining balance. The final objective is to get as close to spending 1,000,000 as possible. Calculator use is down to the discretion of the Tutor and the ability of learners.
