An activity to explore money management and negative numbers. Be prepared to signpost students if need be.
The activity starts with discussing who is most likely to get into debt and then by recognising that anyone can if they don’t have good money skills.
Then students use *place value dice (hundreds, tens and units) to fill in their budget sheets. If you don’t have such dice you could prepare the sheets by writing in amounts to differentiate for each student.
