Task 1

Task 2
In pairs or small groups:

• Discuss the detail of this within your group.
• Think of some of the purchases you have made over the last six months.
• Complete the purchase chart for your group.

Task 3

As a whole class:

• Groups report back on their findings.
• Build up a purchase picture for the class.  The class teacher could use the purchase chart to compile a comprehensive class record and use this for all the classes across the year so that they could then compare and contrast across the year group.
• Can you come up with a global costing for the class? And the year?
