A complete, fully resourced 15-page maths investigation for Year 6 that brings real-world financial literacy into the classroom through five progressive, curriculum-linked challenges.
Pupils take on the role of a financial planner, working through a school fair budget, a class trip cost breakdown, best value shopping comparisons, a personal monthly budget, and , as the final Big Investigation, planning a birthday party for 20 guests within a £200 budget.

Every challenge builds on the last, covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, percentages, fractions, and reasoning — all six Year 6 National Curriculum objectives for number and measure are addressed.

Includes a full teacher mark scheme, differentiation suggestions (support and extension), and a pupil self-assessment grid. Print and go — no preparation needed.
