Assessor's comments
A lively and stimulating resource which provides a multitude of ideas for teachers to explore financial issues with children with moderate learning difficulties. The resource provides a ‘pick and mix’ active approach which should motivate both pupils and staff. There are opportunities for teachers to guide pupils through some quite difficult concepts and understandings. There are also many opportunities for pupils to work independently towards individual outcomes. Financial terms are thoroughly clarified in the extensive glossary.
