Brighton & Hove Playing for Success Teachers Copy What Money Means with Brighton and Hove Albion FC and Sussex County Cricket Club www.pfeg.org/learningaboutmoney
Brighton and Hove Playing for Success have written these numeracy questions to complement the What Money Means (WMM) project, which is currently running in the city. WMM, a project funded by HSBC bank and managed by the Personal Finance Education Group (‘pfeg’), is aimed at developing financial literacy in primary schools. The questions explore a variety of financial topics related to the Sussex County Cricket Club and Brighton and Hove Albion football club. There are questions related to ticket sales, purchasing new players, players’ salaries and PAYE and National Insurance and many other topics with a financial aspect to them. The questions could be used to complement a Finance Day or Finance Week. Alternatively, they could be used simply to improve Maths performance by presenting the subject in a real life scenario. It is important to include discussion on the topics raised in order that children learn how the world of business finance works and to be able to develop the skills needed to make informed financial decisions. Questions are aimed at Level 4 and are intended as 10 minute word problems using calculators for the most part, although some are longer. The pupil booklet was planned to be used as a text book and the CDRom allows teachers to print off individual questions or to display them on an interactive whiteboard. The Playing for Success teachers are happy to come into school to support learning or, alternatively, children could visit the Withdean Stadium or the County Cricket ground to solve the problems on site.
