Build a Business & Classroom Marketplace - Financial Literacy Pack
This project-based financial literacy bundle includes both black-and-white and full-colour versions of two engaging resources. Students plan, run, and reflect on a pretend business, then simulate a real-world marketplace using class currency and sales tracking.
Pack includes:
? Build a Business – Financial Literacy PBL:
- Business planning templates
- Budgeting, pricing, and profit calculation
- Advertisement creation page
- Reflection worksheet
- Provided in black-and-white for easy printing and colour for classroom display or digital use
?️ Classroom Marketplace – Simulation Pack:
- Printable class currency (notes and tokens)
- Stall setup templates and signage
- Buyer and seller tracking logs
- Marketplace reflection and teacher guide
- Available in both colour and B&W versions
Learning goals
- We are learning to solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by one or two-digit numbers using efficient mental or written strategies and appropriate digital technologies, e.g. area model, arrays and Italian Lattice Method.
- We are learning to solve problems involving division by a one digit number, including those that result in remainders.
- We are learning to find a simple fraction of a quantity where the result is a whole number, e.g. 1/3 of a number is the same as dividing by 3.
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by whole numbers where the results are terminating decimals.
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by powers of 10.
- We are learning to investigate and calculate percentage discounts of 10%, 25% and 50% on sale items, with and without digital technologies.
- We are learning to solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by 1- or 2-digit numbers using efficient mental or written strategies and appropriate digital technologies, e.g. arrays.
- We are learning to solve problems involving division using different strategies and express answers as a whole number, decimal or fraction.
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by multiples of powers of 10 using our knowledge of place value and multiplication facts (times tables), to estimate and check answers.
- We are learning to solve problems that require finding a familiar fraction, decimal or percentage of a quantity, including percentage discounts, choosing the best strategies.
