Investment Game

This week is money week. We play loads of great games but this one was our favourite !
This game is called the Investment Game =)
In this game you have to buy and sell shares. At the end of the game the person with the most money wins. You can have your money in different forms. One is in cash and the other is shares. Say if you had 70 shares with Pepsi , then every month they would send you a dividend which contained money which the business earned every week and all the other people with shares in the business would get the same amount as you. When or if the business ran out of money because nobody would buy anything from their shop then you wouldn't earn any money.
In this game we had to make a profit. We had some scrap paper that we could write things on that we needed. We needed the paper for writing things on for the Bank type thing ^ which you will see a picture of [Mr Devereux adds: it was a stock broker's]. Izzy's mum came in to help with the bank and she did very well!

Mr Devereux had headlines on the interactive whiteboard that he would change every round. He also had companies up on the normal whiteboard that he would also change the share price of every round.

Menace thought : "It was better than normal maths and everybody enjoyed it! It was great fun ! =)"-

Brownie thought : "Fun, fun, fun! It was the best thing that we have done in maths in ages =)"

Murrzo thought : " We played it last year in maths but this year was better =) "

When we went up to the bank, and we wanted to buy and sell a share Mr Devereux would charge a commission that we would have to pay. People got confused by this but they understood it by the end.

We definitely want to play this game again next year in High School =)
