Course Description

Real-World Money Skills

Welcome to intermediate school — and a whole new level of money knowledge! Class 7 moves beyond the basics into the money situations you'll actually face in the real world: working out exact change for any amount, spotting discount deals, understanding where income comes from, recognising online scams, and learning how banks and inflation affect your savings.

What you'll learn

  • Calculate exact change for any purchase using both subtraction and the counting-up method
  • Work out percentage discounts and find the final sale price
  • Identify different types of income — wages, salary, commission, and more
  • Recognise common scams and fraud targeting young people — and know what to do
  • Understand the different types of bank accounts and how inflation affects the real value of your savings
