Description
I'm Mrs. P and I have a true passion for making Econ engaging. Every year, I love getting to the "Supply Meets Demand" lesson because it's a day full of students going "oh, that makes so much sense!" and "I get why stores do that now!" Gotta love those "a-ha!" moments. It's my philosophy that Economics should be anything but boring- after all, every single part is relevant to students. Watch your students make these connections, get excited, and engage with the material with these awesome lessons.
These 2 lessons will teach students all about putting the supply and demand curves on the same graph to determine market equilibrium. This includes shortage and surplus. I usually teach these lessons after spending three days covering the demand curve and two days covering the supply curve in my Supply and Demand Unit. Along with lecture notes, I've included engaging activities and critical thinking opportunities throughout the lessons as well as plenty of practice for students as they familiarize themselves with these fundamental Economic concepts.
The best part is that you can use this entire lesson for distance or digital learning! All student resources come in a printable PDF version AND a Google Slides version. Students just make a copy and they can use all the included resources on Google Slides.

- 2 Daily Written Warm Ups & Opening Activities (PDF, Google Slides)

I usually teach these lessons in two 50 minute periods, but they can be combined for a block period schedule as well. Students need a baseline understanding of the supply and demand curves before completing this lesson.
Note: all Google Drive versions appear in the lesson plans of each individual lesson. As of right now, there is no way to copy a folder in Google so for right now you will need to open the lesson plan and make a copy of each digital resource using the provided links and instructions.
