A ¥en to Trade lessons are written to help middle school students understand the basic rationale for making trades, the gains possible from trade, and how trading is done. Through simulations and other active-learning strategies, the lessons teach fundamental economic concepts such as scarcity, economic wants, resources, goods and services, opportunity cost, and money, as well as international trade concepts such as exports, imports, tariffs, quotas, exchange rates, and trade routes.
