**Economic Education** 

Topic Box - This site is brilliant for mental maths games and is interactive so all you need to do is get the website up onto your whiteboard and the kids can have a go. One of the best ones is the ice-cream van game, which involves the kids making decisions about how to spend money on stock and how to choose appropriate locations. The idea is to understand that the decisions they make will either generate a profit or a loss, so brilliant for 'real' life thinking skills!! Anyone, it's actually just good fun! Really useful as a maths lesson warm up or at the end for kids who have finished early.
