How to use the Financial Sustainability
Maths resources
This resource encourages students to apply their maths skills and knowledge within the context of financial sustainability. Students explore investments/whakangao, Insurance/inihua, KiwiSaver and retirement/whakatā.
Exploring financial sustainability through maths and statistics is an integrated, cross-curricular resource and can be used in multiple ways. Related resources are available for health and social sciences.
There are a range of resources to choose from, so schools and teachers can design programmes that allow:
- Students to work at their own pace using a student planner
- Teachers to design a programme that suits department, faculty or whole-school planning over a few weeks or a term. This will vary from school to school.
Important readings:
- Financial sustainability resource introduction.
- Pedagogy and methodology overview for the frameworks underpinning the development of this resource.
