Developing Financial Capability through mathematics - Northern Ireland version

This is a new version of pfeg's resource which has been adapted especially for schools in Northern Ireland. This set of materials emerged from a stated need among many mathematics teachers to have a wider range of mathematics rich resources to help them to contribute to learning in financial capability. With the backing of the Department for Education and Skills, pfeg has been able to explore different ways of teaching mathematics to enable young people to see more clearly the everyday relevance of the subject. These materials support the development of Financial Capability, Mathematics, Using Mathematics (within geography) and aspects of Learning for Life and Work. Some of the activities in Section 5 could be used to develop the key element of Economic Awareness in Modern Languages.
