Economics | Comparing Supply and Demand | A Student Handbook Activity

In this download, you will receive everything your students need to create a small “Handbook” on Supply and Demand. This handbook is intended to be a short preview/review to the concepts of supply and demand. I use this handbook as a preview/introduction of the concepts before we dig deeper. Appropriate for grades 8-12.

In this activity your students will:

1) Complete each page of the 9 page “half-sheet” handbook using their classroom textbook or an online resource (link provided).
