Financial Literacy and Spreadsheeting

WALT use the language of financial literacy to decide on whether we can afford to have a class pet and how to show our data using a spreadsheet.

We have been learning about the language of financial literacy to gather a basic understanding of the terms used when working with finances. This includes words such as income, debt, expenses, needs and wants, consequences, trade off's, budgets etc.

We used the the scenario of having a pet in class, where we had to decide whether or not it would be feasible for our classes to have pet. As part of this we had to look at the setup costs of having a pet, based on needs and then the ongoing expenses of that pet.

We then were taught how to use a spreadsheet through our google classroom, adding data, turning that data into graphs so that we could see a quick comparison prior to making conclusions about which pet would be the best and why.
