Economic decision-making and market choices give Grade 6 Social Studies students a focused way to examine how supply, demand, resources, needs, and technology influence economic choices. This worksheet connects economic concepts to real-life scenarios while helping students analyze how production and consumption decisions can affect communities.

From Supply and Demand to Everyday Choices

Students explain how supply and demand affect market choices and identify factors that influence economic decisions. They consider the roles of resources, needs, and technology, then analyze how production and consumption choices can have effects beyond individual decisions.

Economic vocabulary is used throughout the learning tasks so students can support their answers when responding to real-life economic scenarios. The resource gives learners opportunities to connect economic concepts with choices they may encounter in familiar community and marketplace situations.

Question and Activity Formats

The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. Students identify economic concepts, interpret information, apply vocabulary to scenarios, explain relationships, and communicate economic reasoning in written responses.

Included Teacher Support

• Student worksheet: Practice focused on supply and demand, market choices, resources, needs, technology, production, consumption, communities, and economic vocabulary.

Useful for Instruction and Review
