01

What Students Need to Do

Students compare who owns businesses, who sets prices, and who decides what to make in market, planned, and mixed economies. They use numbers from two graphs to compare economic changes. They explain how trade and technology affect prices, jobs, living conditions, and ties between places.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can cite numbers from two graphs without claiming that one trend caused the other. They can name a benefit and a drawback of market choices for households and a country's growth, compared with government planning. They can explain how a shipping delay abroad might affect a local store.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think a market economy has no government rules or that a planned economy has no buying and selling. They may treat two rising lines as proof that one caused the other. They may assume cheaper imports help every worker or that new technology raises everyone's income.

04

How to Assess It

Draw two bar charts for one country: exports at $10 million then $20 million, and average income at $20,000 then $25,000. Ask students to cite both changes, name one trade risk, and explain who decides what to produce in a market economy versus a planned economy.

1. 01

   Give groups 12 pencils and 20 request cards; distribute pencils by teacher rule, then auction them with tokens and count unmet requests.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Should our school buy cheaper imported laptops or locally repaired ones?' Have students cite a price chart and a local jobs chart.

3. 03

   Draw two bar charts, exports and income for three countries; pairs race to match claim cards to numbers in both charts.

4. 04

   Trace a smartphone's chips, assembly, and shipping on a map; students explain how factory automation or a shipping delay changes local prices.
