What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Wanted to provide my students with a different context.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) I would integrate it into a cross curricular unit.

Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? How the tax would be spent nationally, because it made the students reflect on not only what they thought but the thoughts of others.

I liked the thought behind the programme and the resources however I had to adapt it a bit to fit my students (lower level). The hands on activities were great and sparked some good conversations.

I love teaching students about tax - it is such an important part of their lives and yet they know so little about it. The diagrams were great and it sparked some really interesting comments from the classes I did it with.

If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) Would need to allocate more time and I quite like the idea of a full day of learning.

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? The school kit was a valuable resource for connecting students to the Year 11 Commerce programme. It built confidence in using financial language and was an excellent intro between junior social studies and senior commerce.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) It worked well as a separate unit.

The kit was an excellent tool for teaching Year 10 students about tax. It was engaging, easy to use, and made a the topic clear and relatable. Students enjoyed the hands-on activities, and it sparked great class discussion. Highly recommended!

If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) As part of a unit combined with my existing resources from other sources.
