Money Awareness
In this lesson, pupils explore where money comes from and what it is used for. They learn that money is earned through work, how adults are paid, and how businesses make money by selling goods and services. Pupils also discover how the government uses money to pay for things that help everyone. Through simple examples, children follow the journey of money to understand that it moves from earning, to spending, to being reused again in the economy.
