Cash Flow Forecast Activity
Test your students’ knowledge of cash flow forecasts with this UNIQUE activity that demonstrates if students can calculate each of the different values.
This cash flow forecast contains a number of intentional errors that students need to identify and correct.
All instructions are included in the activity, but the key thing to note is that all yellow values cannot change, any others can.
Included in this activity are the following:
Page 1 - Instructions on how to complete the activity, a cash flow forecast (in colour) and an explanation of what the first error is and how it should have been calculated.
Page 2 - All errors have been circled. This can be shown after the cash flow forecast has been completed.
Pages 2 and 3 - Detailed explanations of all errors and how they should have been calculated.
Page 4 - The completed cash flow forecast with all answers.
How I run the activity:
Give students up to 10 minutes to complete the cash flow forecast
Once finished, ask students to explain any errors they have found (this took my class 10 minutes)
Show the circled errors on the board so that students can circle them
Explain each error in detail
Show the completed cash flow forecast on page 3 and get students to mark them. This will save you time.
