Ecomonics Test Study Guide
Test Date:December 1st (Wednesday)
The test will be made up of the following parts:
- Application- Students will have to apply their knowledge to solve 2 economic problems. (Look for the "Decision Tree" to come home in 11/23's Tuesday Folder. This will be the model used on the test.)
- Multiple Choice/ Short Answer- There are approximately 20 questions on this part. Students will be asked to answer questions which will test their knowledge of the content. Much of the flashcard vocabulary will fall into this section.
- Narrative Items: There are 2 of these items. On these items, students are presented with economic scenarios and situations. They are to use their knowledge to respond in a written explanation.
Other than the flashcards, what can you do to help prepare your child for the test? - Your child should have their Social Studies textbook at home. Unit 3 focuses on economics. Read the chapters with your child for reinforcement of classroom lessons.
- Ask your child what they studied in Miss Schaech's class that day. Did they add any new words to the word wall? Did they watch a new Econ and Me segment on the big screen? Did they add anything to their binder that they want to share?
- Go over all economics papers that come home in the next 2 Tuesday folders.
- Look at the picture of the word wall (updated as we learn--this picture was taken on Monday 11/22). Can your child define or give examples of all the words?
