“I used this kit as part of an Economics unit for Year 10’s. Parts of the kit that were useful were the calculators on sorted.org and the letters. The guide was confusing at times to follow and the logic puzzle was not a hit.”

“I really enjoyed how the students were able to do group work. I did find it would have been useful as a teacher to have a worked answer I could go through as it took a bit of working out what I needed the students to do. The students loved opening the envelopes and seeign what was inside especially. We found the logic puzzle so hard! I love doing these, but teaching a room of teens how to do it didn't work out well!”
