Trade and Voluntary Exchange Reading Packet

The Trade and Voluntary Exchange Reading Packet is an informative resource that teaches 5th grade students key economics concepts.

Educators can implement this as individual work, partner work, small group instruction, or homework. The reading packet features an informative article breaking down voluntary exchange and trade, multiple choice questions, fill-in-the blank vocabulary activities, and graphic organizers. Students will reinforce comprehension of economics topics like specialization, voluntary exchange, trade, and opportunity cost. This supplemental resource requires no prep-work and includes answer keys. Use it for social studies or reading lessons in 5th grade.
