  • Read and write money amounts with two decimal places correctly
  • Spot the difference between $3.04 and $3.40 — and why it matters
  • Calculate change from a $10 note for any purchase
  • Round prices to the nearest dollar to estimate a total quickly
  • Set a personal spending limit and practise staying within it
  • Identify needs and wants when money is tight
