They will also cover a basic explanation of interest and how banks work. Includes lesson plan.

This resource has been developed for ESOL learners in a FE college. It looks at banking, saving money, budgeting and credit. In every lesson I have used a video clip from the Bank of England site which gives learners a broader view of the world of banking.
Money talk/ Debt/ Credit/ Managing money/ Jargon/ Assembly idea/ Secondary Whole school
Do your students really understand credit and debt?
This 10-15 minute assembly is designed to educate students about money management and the dangers surrounding debt. It gets students to think about the Mathematics behind money.
It covers Loans, Payday loans, Credit cards and Overdraft as well as trying to do some ‘jargon busting’.
This assembly is not designed to scare students, it is designed to teach them what to be aware of and what traps to avoid.
The pack contains:
Powerpoint with notes and Maths (pre worked out)
A ‘how to use’ document contains synopsis, help with delivery and customisation ideas.
Thanks for looking
An extended group project for 16+ students, focusing on independent living skills, budgeting and preparing for post-FE transitions.
In small groups, students will be given different ‘incomes’ and circumstances. They must make it through a month without breaking the bank, accounting for both foreseeable and unforeseeable costs.
The presentation will take the groups through the month, starting with them having to find a new place to live and facing the costs that go with moving. Students will then have to make shopping lits of household essentials, food, etc.
The lesson is fairly open-ended and can be adapted easily for different lesson durations and for learners of varying ages and abilities. Students can use the attached budgeting sheets to keep track of their balance.
