This week, we will continue to work on building our understanding of economics! Well, we’re so Last week, we learned what a consumer is and how they make purchases for goods and services. This week, we will take a closer look at what a consumer is and introduce who is a producer.

Here, students will get to pretend to be producers and consumers and spend money to buy goods and services.
