PSHE:
This lesson supports the Year 1 National Curriculum for Mathematics in Number and Place Value by enabling pupils to understand money as a representation of numerical value, including digital forms. Pupils apply place value knowledge when recognising amounts in pounds and pence and develop understanding that digital transactions represent real numerical quantities being transferred.
This lesson supports PSHE Economic Wellbeing objectives L10, L11 and L13, alongside Health and Wellbeing objective H3, by helping pupils understand how digital money is used, recognise risks such as scams and repeated subscriptions, develop safe decision making online, and identify when to seek support from a trusted adult to protect their money and personal information.
