“Many of our students face the reality of leaving school early to go into paid employment or courses. Having the opportunity to experience finances and the complexities of it in the saftey of the classroom has been valuable, especially when it comes to learning about savings, budgeting and planning for the future. It lead to conversations about decisions made for long term, and I was even able to discuss some of the financial mistakes I made through my life to make it really impactful.”

“This box set suited the factors that we wanted to talk about with our senior students, the hands on working out of what their budgets, and finances will look like. Kids liked working through the discussion cards and filling in the different sheets to see how it impacted them. Fake vs reality was a little bit of an eye opener for them”

“This was a great product. Tested it with several groups of students. Lower to mid ability. We are introducing a 'Moneymoves' course at Yr 9 next year (first time we have taught any financial leteracy outside of Social Studies class. We have had a great uptake and I suspect the students will also enjoy the discussions that arise over the course of using the information. Loved the letters from the future.”

How did the activity help students make connections between circuit theory and real-world applications? Students still find it difficult to take it out of theory and into real life. I taught this to whānau class students (years 9-13) and the older students had better conceptual understanding.
“Students loved the puzzles and exploring ideas with this resource! Beautifully presented and engaging kit that is perfect for Social Studies, Whānau Classes, integrated Year 9 classes etc.”

How did the activity help students make connections between circuit theory and real-world applications? The activities were too hard for my students
“I found the process overwhelming as an adult trying to deliver it- having instructions online made it much harder than say a booklet would have been. Most of it went completely over the head of my year 10/11 learning support classes (Year 8ish ability)”
