01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify ways people earn money and tell earned income from gift money. They name simple job skills and explain the difference between wants and needs.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can explain that people earn income by doing jobs, while gifts are given without work. They can name a job skill and sort common items as wants or needs.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think all money is earned, including birthday money. They may call every desired item a need or believe jobs require no specific skills.

04

How to Assess It

Give students four picture cards showing a worker earning pay, birthday cash, food, and a toy. Ask them to label income or gift, then need or want.

1. 01

   Set up a classroom store where students earn play money for a job, receive a gift, then choose between need and want cards.

2. 02

   Ask, "How is money from walking a dog different from birthday money, and what could each buy?"

3. 03

   Play Job Skill Match by pairing job cards with picture cards such as cooking, counting, building, listening, or caring.

4. 04

   Study a grocery flyer, circle needs such as food, mark wants such as candy, and discuss how families use income to buy them.
