Economics Standard Three - Grades 6-8

Sample Activities

 Students could gather information and evaluate data from various sources to describe the economy of a particular nation. Using this data they could make a case for classifying that economy as market, mixed, or command [Economic systems]

As students researched different nations they could post their results on a map, and thus develop a comprehensive picture of the economies in a given region.

 Students might develop a set of questions which might be used to make a comparison between different types of economies and gather economic data to answer these questions (e.g., U.S. and Sweden; Taiwan and the People's Republic of China). They could then explain ways in which the questions or categories used in such a comparison might bias the comparison [Economic systems].
