Practical Skills

Stock Market Challenge helps pupils develop their skills and aptitudes and enrich their understanding of the world around them. Children at this age have an instinctive understanding of how markets work and how the value of things changes according to external influences, from exchanging Gogos and Match Attax cards in the school playground to trading in Stock Market Challenge.

Aspects of the curriculum

The game enriches their literacy and numeracy and helps develop their key skills and aptitudes. The resource supports several areas of learning, including Mathematical Understanding, English and Communication, Technology, Citizenship & Financial Capability.

A Bridging Project

Stock Market Challenge helps pupils prepare for the move up to secondary school in an engaging and imaginative way. The resource is suitable for Key Stage 2 children who are beginning to think about the subjects and themes they will explore in Year 7.

Case Study
