Teaching guide

What students learn

Connect work to income, weigh planned and unplanned spending, understand credit and interest, and explain the benefit of a savings plan.

How to teach it

Plan a purchase: divide the goal by the weekly saving to find the weeks. Then compare with credit: you get the item now, but pay back more than you borrowed because of interest.

Worked example
Ava wants a $40 skateboard and saves $5 each week. How many weeks until Ava can buy it?
Answer: 8 weeks
Why: $40 ÷ $5 = 8

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Forgetting the interest when totalling a repayment, and treating credit as extra income rather than a debt owed back.
