Opportunity Cost and Opportunity Benefit - Introductory Economic Concept
Opportunity Cost and Opportunity Benefit. I use this as a basic introduction to the concepts of opportunity cost/benefit. Most students think of "cost" in terms of money so this helps to introduce them to the other costs for decisions (i.e. time, energy, risk, etc.) Students read a short scenario about having the opportunity to buy fruit from Mr. Morgan's fruit stand with a limited amount of money to better understand the different types of costs that go along with the benefit of getting a p

Find Economics resources | TPT
If you’re an educator or parent looking for printable or digital resources to help your student learn about economics, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of economics and financial literacy resources available, including activities and lessons on trade, goods and services, and the stock market to name just a few. With plenty of TPT high-quality resources at your fingertips, you’ll be able to teach economics to your students in no time at all.
Economics activities to try
Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about economics:
Simulation Activities
You can introduce students to the world of investing, budgeting, and other economics-related activities through simulations. For example, have students research companies they want to "invest" in to show them how the stock market works. If you want to extend the lesson, you can have them periodically check in on their portfolios throughout the year to see how their investments are performing. Or, you could use a simulation to teach them about causes that led up to certain major historical events, like the stock market crash of 1929.
Budgeting Exercises
Help students understand the importance of managing their own financial resources by challenging them to create a budget. Give them a few hypothetical scenarios involving income, expenses, and financial goals. For example, you could ask them to plan a fictional character's monthly expenses, or have them create a budget to save for buying a house.
Trade Games
Through trading games, students can learn about importing and exporting, along with the impact of external forces and trade agreements. Ask students to work in teams and have them trade goods, record their imports and exports, and respond to charges (like tariffs and embargoes).
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Give students a real-world decision to make (e.g., building a new road, investing in a new technology, or buying property) and have them perform a cost-benefit analysis. To deepen the learning, you can ask them to justify their decisions with evidence.
