Fans of the Tuttle Twins will appreciate economic lessons designed to teach children of all ages about the free market. Each book has 10 units with 4 lessons each. Completing all 3 results in 120 lessons for the year, potentially being used as a high school elective credit. Lessons include an introduction to the concept for the parents, activities for younger and older children, family discussion prompts, and optional material to dig deeper into a topic. This is how you get the grade range from kinders to high school – family discussion. Young learners can understand simple questions while older students can dig deeper into the repercussions of every scenario. Each unit takes 4 weeks to complete. Units center around a thought-provoking question: Do you really need that? What makes something useful? Why can’t you always get what you want? These are just the first 3 units. Later units discuss trade, money, demand, products, banks, monopolies, taxes, Keynesianism, etc. Final units bring you around to asking: What’s the best economic system? or How can we use economics? Each unit has consumable student pages as well as a discussion guide for parents/teachers. You can try out one unit and see if they are a good fit for your family or order all 3 in a set! This is not the sort of course that needs an answer key. See the table of contents for each book to show specific discussion topics.
