What Students Need to Do

Students explain how limited resources lead people to make choices. They identify producers, consumers, goods, services, costs, and benefits in familiar situations.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly label goods, services, producers, and consumers in an example. They can explain a choice by naming what was gained and what was given up.
