Economics-SMARTboard Interactive Economics Lesson and Activities for Grades 3-5

This lesson uses many resources to teach economics concepts such as currency, barter, goods and services, public and private, taxes, scarcity, and opportunity cost. Pages in this SMART Notebook file include everything from audio and video, web links, songs, interactive activities, and a SMART Response assessment. After reviewing economic basics (goods and services, currency, barter), students learn about choice and opportunity cost through integrated social studies content. Students learn about economics through the lens of colonial times. These activities are a great way to integrate history and economics.
