Activity Fifteen:

  • Examples of questions
    Where do I write the amount the cheque is for in numbers?
    Where do I put the date?
    Where do I put the name of the company I am sending the cheque to?
    Where is my account number?
    Where do I sign the cheque?

Activity Sixteen:

  • have your student highlight information such as:
    Who does the cheque get made out to?
    How much is the total cheque for?
    Are there shipping and handling charges?
    Is there tax?
    Is it in Canadian or American funds?
    What information should be recorded on the back of the cheque?

Activity Seventeen:

  • have your student use the information she highlighted in Activity Sixteen to help in writing the cheque
  • have her choose 3 more ads for homework and repeat the steps in Activity Sixteen and Seventeen and bring them back to the next session (This is a great demonstrative activity.)

Activity Eighteen:

  • you may also want to write scenarios for this activity and have her transfer the information to the balance sheet
