What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students sort things people can buy and keep from work people do for others. They explain each choice using a simple clue.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student correctly labels a toy, loaf of bread, haircut, and bus ride. The student explains that goods are objects, while services are actions or work.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may call anything that costs money a good. They may also confuse the worker, such as a barber, with the service the worker provides.
How to Assess It
- Give students four pictures: shoes, an apple, a doctor visit, and a car wash. Have them label each and explain one choice.
