The content descriptions relevant to "Consumer and Financial Literacy" are drawn from the strands Number and Algebra, and Statistics and Probability. These strands give students opportunities to ‘think and do’ mathematics in contexts that are real and engaging. For example, students might be asked to calculate goods pre-GST and GST-inclusive; calculate the money they save by purchasing an item on sale or at a discounted price; evaluate profit/loss as a percentage; investigate how retail prices are inflated to improve profit percentage.
