I liked to show my students (Yr 4 -10 years old) how the value of money compares between countries by showing them the Big Mac Index which compares the cost of a Big Mac around the world. However the site I used to use is now only available via a subscription to the economist, which is something I have no use for. Therefore, is there an alternative site that compares something this age group can relate to in this way? I know I can use the Universal Calculator http://www.xe.com/ucc/ to convert currencies to $A but the Big Mac gave it some perspective. I shall post a hit, if there is something to post.
