Activity: To solve in context problems that concern economic issues [LO 1.6]

1. Cash register slips are part of our lives. Wherever we buy and pay, we receive them. Let us take a closer look at a couple of them!

Your educator will provide you with the necessary paper.

Divide into groups of three. Collect at least three till slips from various shops in your area (you may collect more!) and compare them in terms of the following:

1.1

Lay-out: Where is the name of the shop written?

Is there an address? Where is it written?

Is there a telephone number? Where is it written?

Is there a fax number? Where is it written?

1.2 What, in addition to the above, is also indicated on the till slip?

1.3 Are there any similarities between the various till slips? If yes, what?

1.4 Are there any differences between the various till slips? If yes, what?

1.5 Which till slip is "best" according to you? Motivate your answer.
