Description
This is a resource for Humanities teachers teaching Economics and Business units at Year 7 level. (Australian / Western Australian curriculum). The work and income concepts are presented as twelve pages of teacher notes, followed by suggested learning activities to use in class (eleven in all - use some of them or all of them!) Activities have been designed to incorporate curriculum skills (e.g. analysis, critical thinking) where appropriate, but there is a bit of maths involved - but adults often say "why wasn't I taught this stuff in school"? We've tried to make is as easy as possible. Concepts covered include the nature of paid and unpaid work; other types of income (investments); and earning an income in retirement.

CCSS7.EE.B.3
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
CCSS7.EE.B.4a
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
