Play Dough Economics:

Educators know that students retain more when they participate in activity-based learning. This class gives teachers motivating lessons that align with the Colorado Economics Standards. Each lesson uses modeling clay in discovery and simulation activities. How do societies and individuals get the goods they want? Is anything really “free”? Why is understanding opportunity cost important? Learn how to teach the economic way of thinking and inspire your students in the process. Curriculum materials include pre- and post-tests.
