This learning resource aims to help students identify and classify items into categories of goods and services as well as needs and wants. It begins with clear definitions and examples of goods (physical items you can touch) and services (actions performed for you), alongside needs (essentials for survival) and wants (non-essentials). Students will engage in activities like classifying various items and discussing these classifications with partners. Additional tasks encourage deeper thinking about the nuances of needs and wants in different contexts, supported by opportunities for self-assessment and real-life application. Vocabulary and prompts are provided to facilitate understanding and promote discussion.
