This lesson aligns with the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum by incorporating real-world problem solving, cultural knowledge, and collaborative learning.
Students will receive a budget-related homework assignment to reinforce concepts learned in class. The homework will be collected and checked without any presentations required.
"Good morning, everyone! Today we are going to explore an exciting topic: the Rūnang's of Ngai Tahi. Rūnang's are significant in the Ngai Tahi culture as they involve decision-making and resource allocation. Now, how do you think these concepts tie into mathematics? That's right! Today, we will focus on budgeting—an important mathematical skill that helps us manage our resources wisely. Let's get started!"
"Before we dive into our activities, let’s clarify some key mathematical terms that we will be using today.
Firstly, what do we mean by 'income'? (Wait for responses) Exactly! Income is the money we earn or receive.
Now, can anyone tell me what 'expenses' are? (Wait for responses) Great! Expenses are the costs we incur—basically the money we spend.
Lastly, we have 'savings'. Who can tell me what savings mean? (Wait for responses) Correct! Savings are the money we keep aside after covering our expenses.
To help visualize these concepts, let’s look at this chart I’ve put together showing how income, expenses, and savings interact through budgeting. (Use the projector to display visual aids).
Are you all with me so far? Fantastic! Now that we have an understanding of these terms, we’re going to put them into practice!"
"Alright, it's time for a fun group activity! I'm going to divide you into groups of 4 to 5. Each group will receive a different scenario that requires some budgeting and resource allocation.
Here's how it will work: discuss your scenario, and I want you all to work together to create a budget. Remember to consider your income, expenses, and how much you can save.
I will hand out printed worksheets to guide you through this task. You have 10 minutes to collaborate as a group. I’ll be walking around to assist if you have any questions. Let's get started!"
"Okay, everyone, let’s come back together as a class! I’m eager to hear about your budgeting strategies. Each group will have a few minutes to share how you approached your scenario and what decisions you made collectively.
(Allow each group to present briefly).
Thank you all for sharing! It’s clear that Rūnang's are about working together as a community, just like you did in your groups. Collaborating allows us to make better decisions. Fantastic teamwork, everyone!"
"Now, for your homework, I want you to do some more budgeting exercises at home. I’ll provide you with a worksheet that includes different budgeting scenarios for you to work through on your own.
Make sure to show your calculations clearly, and you’ll submit this assignment in our next class. Just to clarify, there’s no need for any presentations on your homework—just complete your work and bring it to class. Got it? Great!"
"Alright, let's wrap up our lesson today. We’ve learned about the significance of Rūnang's in Ngai Tahi culture and how they relate to budgeting. We've discussed key terms like income, expenses, and savings, and you’ve experienced hands-on group work to reinforce these concepts.
Remember, effective budgeting isn't just about numbers; it’s also about making wise decisions that can impact our everyday lives, both in mathematics and within our communities. Thank you for your hard work today, and I can’t wait to see your homework next class! Have a great day!"
Define the following terms in your own words:
Create a simple budget for a hypothetical scenario where you earn $300 per week. List potential expenses (e.g., food, transport, entertainment) and show how much you would save weekly.
Consider a situation where your weekly income decreases to $250. How would this affect your budgeting decisions? Adjust the budget created in the previous question to reflect this new income level.
Write a short paragraph explaining why budgeting is essential for managing community resources, relating your response to the concept of Rūnang in Ngai Tahi culture.
Imagine you are part of a Rūnang tasked with allocating funds for a community project. List three criteria you would consider when making your budgetary decisions and explain the importance of each.
Reflect on your group activity during class. What budgeting strategies worked well for your team, and what would you change if you were to approach the scenario again individually?
What is one lesson you learned today about budgeting that you can apply to your personal life? Explain how you plan to implement this lesson going forward.
