Supply and Demand Economics Unit for Special Education Print and Digital

This unit on Supply and Demand takes a deeper look at how changes in supply, demand, and price affect each other.

It contains 130 pages and 32 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism, who are in middle and high school.

This unit addresses how supply and demand affect the economy in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on how the desire for certain goods and services can affect the balance of supply and demand.

This repetition helps students make connections to this important and often abstract information.

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

✩✩✩ There are 32 google slides and a movie version of the book. This includes a set of slides fully differentiated with color for students who need more support. These make a great independent work center.

See the preview for a more detailed look at the contents.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
