This is one of a series of blog posts linked to the research I did for the 'Discover Geography' series, and mentioning some of the reading I did to prepare some of the chapters.
Not all of this material made it into the final book so I'm sharing it in these posts.
I produced some activities which are not going to be included in the final book in the end.
One of them included some images from the Dollar Street Website.
Put the images side by side and add the questions below
Figure 1 : Family 1
Figure 1: Family 1 live on an income of $32 a month
Figure 2 Family 2
Figure 2 – Family 2 live on an income of $1051 a month.

Which of the following families do you think best matches the description below, Family 1 or 2?
If you are unsure, write both.
- Sleep in a bed rather than on the floor
- Have a laptop computer
- Have a fridge in which to keep food
- Have a toilet which is inside rather than outside
- Have a phone
- Have a lock on their front door
- Have no TV but hope to buy one when they get the money
