Welcome to Tradem

An online marketplace for children designed by parents and teachers

At Tradem, as educational specialists, we understand that learning through fun meaningful experiences is one of the most effective ways for children to understand key concepts. With that in mind, we have developed an online marketplace that enables children to trade and learn key financial skills in a way that is fun and age appropriate.

Unlike many other financial educational tools and platforms, Tradem can be used both at home and in the classroom, with both KS1 and KS2 lessons plans and activity sheets which cover a range of PHSE and curriculum topics, provided as part of the school subscription.

Whether you are looking for curriculum-aligned teaching resources for use within the classroom or looking to run after school or lunch time enterprise clubs, Tradem can help.

What teachers are saying

Sophie - Special Needs School Teacher

Lesson plans were very detailed and summarised well to keep them user friendly and easy to follow. The resources are very up to date and relevant in relation to how we use money in today's society.

Lee - KS2

Concept is very appropriate for modern living and also gives good examples to stimulate interest, conceptual understanding and good outcomes.

Abby - KS2

I think all lessons cover the aims of the curriculum and I think the children will enjoy these lessons as they are fun and interactive whilst being relevant to their lives. For example, knowing about how to budget is a crucial skill which is taught in simple terms for children to understand.

“Tradem offers a unique and innovative way to cover the aims of the curriculum with lessons that are fun and interactive, whilst being relevant to the children's lives.”

Helen, Year 2 Teacher

Joining the Tradem Marketplace

Schools can sign up as a whole and each class can have an account(s) of their own. Each class will have their own 'shop' where they can sell buy and swap items with other shops, have access to our tutorials and use our lesson plans and activity sheets.

Unlike other online marketplaces we don't charge transaction fees, use data commercially or advertise, as this would undermine the safe and educational experience that Tradem wants to offer.

Schools will receive one terms free access to Tradem, and pupils who join from the school will receive a code enabling them to 1 months free access to the marketplace.
