A survey has revealed that teenagers know exactly how much an iPod costs but have no idea of the price of bread. Can your pupils guess the price of the products in the survey? Could be a great starter for the first lesson back after half term

Guess the price of the following products

A loaf of bread
The average house price
An iPod Nano
Half a dozen eggs

Answers and the full article from the Daily Mail website here
