Plan It • Price It • Make It | Real-Life Learning Project Pack

A 17-page digital project pack from Learning Sideways, part of Sideways & Unboxed by Guinea Gourmet Treats.

Format: Word document (.docx). Digital download only; no physical item is posted.

Start with something your learner wants to make, organise or do — a picnic, a cake, a gaming night or a room redesign. Then help them plan it, research the options, compare prices and work within a budget.

What’s included

• A detailed adult guide with questions, prompts and a step-by-step support ladder for helping without taking over.
• Maths explanations, research and digital-literacy guidance, and ideas for working through unexpected problems.
• Adaptations, extension challenges and ideas for recording learning.
• Six optional learner sheets covering the initial idea, planning, research and prices, unexpected changes, carrying out the project and reflection.

Learning through a real project

Depending on the chosen project, learners can practise budgeting, estimating, calculating, reading, writing, research, planning, decision-making and communication.

Use it in the way that fits

The recording sheets are optional. Type, write in a notebook, use a whiteboard, talk through ideas, use speech-to-text or collect photographs and screenshots. Print the pages you need, work digitally or use the adult guide while your learner records the project their own way.

The worksheet serves the learner. The learner doesn’t serve the worksheet.
