The market is central to New Zealand’s economy. Understanding how it works enables us to understand our own economic participation – our own role in the economy.
This workbook focuses on the Economics Achievement Objectives at Level 6 of the New Zealand Curriculum and the Achievement Standards for NCEA Level 1 Economics. Each chapter begins with a list of learning objectives that identify what students need to know, and contains brief content notes, along with questions and activities to help students consolidate and test their knowledge and understanding. Full answers are in the back of the book.
