I am trying to involve 7th grade students in economics and also improve their appreciation of math. Do you have courses for ages 12-14?
We don’t have a course specifically designed for that age but I think you could find useful content in both Everyday Economics and Principles. I have a 7 year old and he enjoys them!
Here are some ideas. Drop us a note at [email protected] if you have a specific topic in mind. If we don’t have it we might be able to suggest some other places.
Trade, Division of Labor, etc
