LI: to manage finances and profit by creating with maths.

Managing finances and profit is what we are learning and doing for this term. We are learning about how to use and make money by spending it wisely. We all have bank accounts and we have an opening balance. We are doing different commissions and the best way to get lots of money is to take the fast and easy jobs and doing them yourself because every person gets money and we can get top rank. We are in a WIP (work in progress).
