After reading the letter, the teacher will inform the students that they will be
required to prepare this document for the Principal and the teacher will guide
them through this process.
The teacher will outline the objectives of the lesson for the students and
discuss what will be achieved by the end of the lesson.
2
Students should identify tickets and transport as essential costs, among other
things.
Students will be split up into small homogeneous ability groups where they will
each be presented with a laminated copy of the ticketing options sourced from
the Adventure World website.
At the end of the activity, the entire class will agree on a ticket price.
(If students select a less suitable ticket option, the teacher will gently prompt
the students to consider other options.)
The teacher will then ask the class for suggestions on how they can keep
track of their spending and make sure they do not go over budget.
Key Question: “When you have a certain amount of money that you can
spend in the shops, what strategies do you use to keep track of how
much money you have spent and how much you have left?”
The teacher must be open to attempting student suggestions and allow them
try things that will not necessarily work. The social constructivist teacher,

After agreeing on ticket pricing and cost, students will be required to organise
transportation for their excursion. This will involve calculating and comparing
quotes from different bus companies to find the best option that is within their
budget. This will also depend on their priorities. For example, some students
may prefer to spend extra money for a bus with wifi and aircon and pack their
lunches whereas others would rather opt for a cheaper bus and have some
extra money to purchase lunches from Adventure World. Both answers are
perfectly acceptable. (Problem Solving)
Task- Students will be presented with two invoices. They must record
the total cost and GST of each in the table and tick/cross to compare
whether the cost of each bus is within the constraints of the budget.
Students are to evaluate which bus is the better option for the class.
Enabling- Students will be given one sample invoice. They will be required to
record the total cost and GST in the table and tick/cross a box to indicate
whether the cost of the bus within the constraints of the budget. Laminated Cards
(Transportation Options)
Extending- The students will be given three sample invoices. They will have to
record the total cost and GST in the table and tick/cross a box to indicate
whether the cost of the bus is within the constraints of the budget. Students
must evaluate which bus is the better option for the class.
Five students will be selected at random to add their information about one
quote to the table drawn on the board. After all of the quotes have been
written on the board, the students will have a minute to think before voting for
which bus company they think we should book with. The teacher will select
students at random to justify their vote.
The teacher will reiterate what has been achieved and decided on during the
lesson.
“Today we’ve decided on our ticket type and calculated that the total cost for
4
tickets will be __
We’ve also decided that we are travelling with ____ who will be charging us
$_____.
From our budget of $2000, we have spent $____ and have $____ remaining.”
The teaching will inform the students what they will be expected to complete
in the following lesson.
“Tomorrow we will be deciding how we will be spending the remainder of our
money and each writing a letter to the principal thanking him/her for approving
our request. You need to communicate the decisions we have made today as
a class and PROVE to him/her that the excursion is within the allocated
budget.” (Reasoning)
The teacher will also ask one person from each group to return the laminated
cards to the teacher’s desk. The rest of the class will stack, pack and tidy the
classroom before the bell.
Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)
