I teach 8th grade Economics. This is the grade level that you still are introducing economic concepts. I found this reproducible book to be exactly the level and interest of my 8th graders. I have not used these lessons yet, but do plan on using majority of them. Also the lessons are tied to the Common Core.

This book is perfect for 5th grade economics lessons! I can't wait to use this in my classroom last year. I have been searching for years for a website for SS materials. I am SO happy to have found this website!
