Do your students regularly complain about maths not relating to ‘real life’? Help them to start thinking otherwise with this display poster. You can also use it as a starting point for students to investigate some of these uses of maths, such as maths in music, or to challenge them to find other applications of maths not already mentioned. 3 slightly different versions are included, depending on whether you are a female or male teacher or would like a gender-neutral version. If you find the resource useful, I’d really appreciate a quick review!

Are you looking for a resource to help students learn/review invaluable money concepts (a great way to celebrate Global Money Week in March)? This pack of worksheets is designed for secondary-school aged children or students (approximately 11 to 13 years of age, depending on their prior knowledge about money) who could use a lesson or recap of money concepts such as credit cards, taxes, interest and savings, among others. These five carefully crafted printable A4 worksheets include several mini-activities including a crossword puzzle, money anagrams, a definitions match-up to remind/teach students of important personal finance concepts, a fill-in-the gaps exercise explaining the difference between credit and debit cards, a currency conversion activity as well as short exercises that get students thinking about the importance of savings and planning a career in the future. Depending on students’ abilities, you can use these for them to work independently or guide them through the activities to teach them new concepts about money that will serve them for life! You can also get students to work on them together in pairs or groups and learn from each other.
