DESCRIPTIO

NThis activity addresses the need of keeping records of what is

purchased and how much is spent on a daily basis to allow greater

control over one’s financial life. Students may already be undertaking

some kind of register but possibly in an intuitive, inaccurate way and

now they will learn to do it systematically.
