Description

Teach students the different types of economic systems through the Paper Airplane Challenge; a fun and interactive way for students to learn about the four types of economies.  

Students begin by either being a producer or consumer of paper airplanes. Through this interactive challenge, students are introduced to the basic principles of each economy type (traditional, command and market).  After small group and class discussions, students will view a Google Slides presentation providing more specific information about each type of economy. The lesson concludes with students re-designing the paper airplane challenge to simulate a mixed economy.
