Basic economic concepts

MARC Record:: Downloadable
Teaching Materials:: See Below

With Econ and Me, teachers can teach economic concepts to 7- to 10-year-olds; help students gain insight into today’s world; help students make reasoned decisions; and reinforce language arts, mathematics, and problem-solving skills. The programs follow the adventures of four children and their invisible friend, Jeremiah E. Connery—Econ, for short. Econ shows the children how many of their everyday problems are rooted in economics: lack of space in their new clubhouse, the difficult process of making choices when resources are scarce, how to make the best use of their money.

The Kentucky Council on Economic Education provides training for teachers in the use of these video programs. Call (800) 436-3266 for information.
