Maths and Money
What are the links between Maths and money???
While thinking about the link between Maths and Money it’s hard to say that there is an obvious answer. Is it adding up items in the shopping trolley? Counting the change from a purchase? Or focusing on the bigger things link interest rates? In reality it all varies depending on what stage of life you are at.
As our Lifesavers Supersavers are at Primary school, their Maths and Money connections are going to be connected mostly to shopping or saving. Whereas when you get older, it might link up tax percentages or APR rates.
Keeping things simple at Lifesavers we will leave the ‘grown-up’ stuff as something to aim for as we develop our skills.
Over the week, we will be discussing money through our 5 key questions. Helping you to consider monetary concepts in a stripped down fashion in order to better explain it to our future generations.
