Economics Resources

Explore foundational economic concepts with Education.com’s collection of over 30 printable and digital worksheets, lesson plans, and hands-on activities for preschool through middle school students. These economics resources can be easily filtered by grade, topic, or resource type.

Preschool learners build early knowledge through activities that introduce natural resources such as water and wood and help them distinguish between wants and needs in relation to their daily lives. Early elementary students begin identifying the difference between goods and services and making connections to their communities, while developing logic and context clue skills. As they progress, worksheets introduce the roles of producers and consumers, helping children understand their place in the economy and preparing them to explore more advanced concepts. Elementary students deepen their grasp of economic systems with exercises like What is Scarcity?, which encourages them to recognize examples of scarcity in real-life situations and consider how people manage limited resources. Middle school learners explore more advanced topics such as supply and demand, shortage and surplus, and opportunity cost. In worksheets like Opportunity Costs, students analyze real-world decisions and reflect on trade-offs they’ve experienced in their own lives.

These engaging economics worksheets and activities support both digital and hands-on learning styles. With a range of lesson types and an easy-to-use filter system, teachers and parents can quickly find grade-appropriate resources to support students’ understanding of key economic concepts.
