Money and financial choices

The learning

Maths

Decimals, percentages and mathematical reasoning.

Year 6 pupils use written calculation methods, work with decimals and percentages, solve multi-step problems and apply ratio and proportion to practical contexts. They use rounding and estimation to check the reasonableness of answers.

The application

8billionideas

Plan a seven-day holiday with £10,000.

Through Holiday Money, students practise currency conversion and plan a seven-day trip within a £10,000 budget, making financial decisions as they go.

How schools could use it

An applied budgeting challenge after relevant Year 6 calculation, decimals or percentage work, or as a cross-curricular extension. Currency conversion is an application context, not a separately specified Year 6 requirement. Holiday Money modules are approximately 50 minutes.

Also for younger primary: Recipe For Success – Year 2, where students plan an activity within a £20 budget.

Making student progression
easier to see and understand

Understanding how students develop is just as important as the learning itself. Our approach helps schools identify students’ starting points, recognise how their understanding develops and build a clearer picture of their progress throughout the learning journey.

  • Understanding starting points

    Identify what students already know and understand before developing their skills further.

  • Recognising progress

    See how students’ understanding develops and recognise the progress they make through learning.
