The “Written Numbers” chart in Section 10 can be used to help fill in the amount line on the cheque blanks.

The learner and tutor can work on completing other banking forms, too.

Activity: Basic Budget

A very basic budget form is provided in Section 10 to help teach financial planning concepts. The form is divided between income and expenses categories, where items and values can be filled in. This form can be used for daily, weekly, or monthly budget exercises.

A good resource for teaching budgeting is:

Wellington County Literacy Council. The Budget Workbook. Walkerton, ON: Wellington County Literacy Council, 1998.

This is an everyday guide to managing money. The learner will be able to complete interesting and practical exercises.
