Curriculum progression
See how the site moves from coins and choices to payslips, tax wrappers, debt, investing and pensions.
Use this as the staff-room front door: age-banded lesson packs, printable PDFs, curriculum progression, classroom routines, assessment ideas and safe routes into the calculators when learners are ready.
The teacher section is built around one classroom promise: every activity should teach a useful money idea without needing accounts, paywalls, data collection, or financial product promotion.
See how the site moves from coins and choices to payslips, tax wrappers, debt, investing and pensions.
Download learner and teacher PDFs for each age band, with answer keys, talk prompts and session flow.
Use the five-part lesson routine, differentiation ideas, behaviour-safe discussion prompts and assessment rubric.
Use this as the professional planning layer before opening a PDF. It gives a full sequence for delivery, assessment and home communication without asking pupils to disclose family finances.
Coins and value, needs versus wants, saving goals, budget trade-offs, fraud awareness and reflection.
Every lesson should include a quick retrieval prompt, a worked example, independent practice and a short explanation task.
Assess whether pupils can explain the trade-off, not just whether they can click the right answer.
Keep discussion safe by using made-up salaries, bills and choices. Do not ask learners to reveal household income, debt or benefits.
Print the teacher pack and learner pack before using games or calculators, so the lesson still works if technology fails.
Ages 14-18 can safely move from fictional case studies into calculators once vocabulary and boundaries are clear.
This is the professional layer around the PDFs: planning, classroom delivery, assessment, assemblies, homework and parent communication.
Age-banded routes with objectives, timings, discussion prompts and safe classroom boundaries.
Printable task routes for money choices, budgets, payslips, tax, debt, saving and investing.
Judge vocabulary, reasoning, calculation confidence and safe decision-making without over-testing.
Short assembly themes for saving, payslips, fraud awareness, debt language and future choices.
Take-home prompts that use fictional scenarios and avoid asking pupils to reveal family finances.
Calm copy blocks for explaining what pupils are learning and how families can discuss money safely.
Coins, needs versus wants, saving patience and simple everyday choices.
Budgeting, trade-offs, goal setting and the idea that choices have opportunity costs.
First earnings, tax language, pocket money, saving, risk and reward.
Payslips, tax drag, borrowing, fraud awareness, investing basics and decision quality.
Net pay, pensions, ISAs, LISA trade-offs, debt payoff and long-term planning.
Older learners can move into the calculators once the vocabulary and trade-offs are secure.
The site is free. Teacher packs, printables and classroom routes are not hidden behind accounts or premium tiers.
Lessons focus on concepts, choices and language. They do not tell a child what product to buy or what their family should do.
The strongest learning happens when pupils explain why an answer makes sense, not just when they click the right option.
Every route should still work if a screen, device, login or internet connection gets awkward on the day.
