Super Starter Sunday - Quiz
Recommend on Google+
As many of us will be heading back to the classroom next week Super Starter Sunday has returned, it feels like only yesterday that I was signing off for the summer! So I thought a mini true or false quiz on economic happenings over the summer might be a good start for both year 10 and 11.
Questions
1. The UK came out of recession in July.
2. The new high speed rail plan will link London with Glasgow and Edinburgh in just over 2 hours.
3. House prices are falling again.
4. Unemployment is now 10.9% in the UK.
5. The Bank of England set interest rates at 1.0% in August.
6. The CPI was -1.4% in July.
7. It was reported over the summer that the under 25’s are feeling the worst of this recession.
8. In August the Bank of England announced a further £50bn was being pumped into the economy through the ‘quantitive easing’ scheme.
9. UK economic growth is currently 2.5%.
10. The pound strengthened against the Euro over the summer.
