1st Grade Economic Choices Inquiry
What Choices Do We Make with Our Money?Download Entire Inquiry Here
In staging the compelling question “What choices do we make with our money?” teachers can begin by unpacking the word “choice” with students and brainstorming what it means to have or not have a choice. Teachers might then provide students with examples of choices they make in their everyday lives and elicit additional examples from students. Teachers should listen for examples of economic choices and how money influences the choices the students describe.
