Worksheet · Everyday money

The path is primarily for ages 13–18 and adult beginners. Younger children can learn alongside a parent or teacher. Levels describe prior knowledge, not a guarantee of suitability for every age.

What you will learn

Suggested 30–40 minute session: 5 minutes of discussion, 10 minutes of reading and examples, 15 minutes in pairs and 5–10 minutes explaining and correcting. Assess understanding and reasoning, not simulated profit. Worksheets print without student accounts.

Learn together: choose one concept, read the example and ask the learner to explain it in their own words. Do not ask children for household income, bank documents or account numbers. Use invented figures.
