Overview

Making Economic Choices presents practical economic concepts such as supply, demand, taxes, interest rates, credit card payment, and loans by relating them to students' daily experience. This teacher- and student-friendly resource supports a range of learning styles and builds critical-thinking skills. This textbook is designed to support Ontario's workplace economics course (CIC3E) and can be used as a supplementary resource for the Grade 11 economics course (CIE3M).

Features

• Section-by-Section Approach: Making Economic Choices uses a section-by-section approach in which economic ideas are presented in short, self-contained units rather than in large blocks of text. These short bursts of “digestible” information are less overwhelming, more manageable, and easier for student readers to review.
• The Way It Happened: A graphic novel presentation of a problem or issue related to economics.
• Check It Out: A regular opportunity for students to test and apply their understanding of economic concepts.
• Teacher Resource: Includes assessment and evaluation tools and strategies, answers to textbook questions and activities, and a CD-ROM with modifiable line masters.
