Welcome To The Real World

 * Students to complete this powerpoint assignment by 15/8/12**

This assignment has been designed to provide an exciting opportunity for year 7 mathematics students to undertake a project that directly links Mathematics to the ‘Real World’.

Students will be given an identity, comprising of;

Salary: This is a students gross income per year before tax. This will be an amount from $15000 per year to $125000 per year.

Lifestyle: Students will either be married, single or in a defacto relationship. Students in a defacto relationship will be required to plan a wedding.

Offspring: Students will have 0,1,2,3 or 4 kids.

Savings: This is an amount of money that is currently in the bank for each person. This ranges from $0 to $100000

Students are to present a powerpoint presentation, incorporating their new identity, addressing the following:

1. Title Page
This page is simply a welcome page

2. My family
This is to incorporate pictures of your family. This may include pictures of your wife or husband, children and pets. A description of each identity is required including age, gender and a little extra about them.

3. My Job
This is to include an actual job ad that you have been able to successfully obtain that matches your yearly salary. You need to include information about why you chose this job, where you work, what you do, the hours you work each week and most importantly, your weekly of fortnightly wage.

For ideas on what jobs pay what amount, the following website is helpful:

[|What job pays what amount]

To obtain a actual job ad, you could find a job from a paper and scan it in, or use an ad from an online rescource such as:

[|www.seek.com.au]

[|www.careerone.com.au]

To find out exactly how much your take home pay each week will be, use a tax calculator to find your weekly or fortnightly wage such as the following:

[|Tax Calculator]

4. Where you live
Use the internet to find your new home. You may choose to either rent or purchase a home. You must either include mortgage repayments or rent into your weekly budget. There are many mortgage calculators that can calculate monthly payments. For the purpose of this assignment, assume that upon applying for a loan you are successful. You must choose a place currently available to rent or buy and you cannot choose to live at home with your parents / carers / guardians.

To find out how much you are able to borrow use this website:

[|How much can I borrow]

To find out how much money you need to pay back on a house loan use a calculator such as the following:

[|How much are loan repayments]

To find out places that are for sale or rent, use a search engine such as the following:

[|www.domain.com.au]

[|www.realestate.com.au]

5. Transport
We all dream of owning a Ferrari, but can you afford one ???

You must choose your method of transport wisely. You may get a personal or car loan to buy a car - or even use your savings. If you can't afford a car, then you must be able to show a public transport timetable that matches your needs to get to work.

You will need to budget for transport to and from work as well as visiting your friends and other social activities.

For a guide to new and used car prices use the following search engine:
