Plan your choices

A mini-society has limited resources. People make choices about what to buy, what work to do and what to save.

1.You have 10 Maple Tokens. Which items can you afford while keeping at least 5 tokens? Choose all correct answers from the market board.
  • One pencil
  • One bookmark
  • Both a pencil and a bookmark
  • Neither item
2.Aarav starts with 10 tokens, earns 2 tokens as a helper, and buys a pencil for 3 tokens. How many tokens does Aarav have left? Show the calculation.
3.A buyer wants a bookmark but has only 3 tokens. What is the shortfall, and what are two fair ways the buyer could respond?
4.True or false: If the helper job pays 2 tokens, the person doing the job is providing a service.
TrueFalse
5.The artist uses limited paper to make bookmarks. Explain why the artist may need to decide how many bookmarks to make.

Make a mini-society decision

Use the same market board. Imagine you are the decision-maker in each situation.

6.You have 6 tokens and want both a pencil and a bookmark. Can you buy both? If not, what is the opportunity cost of choosing the pencil instead?
7.A seller asks 5 tokens for a bookmark, although the market board lists it at 4. What could a buyer do to seek a fair trade?
8.You can spend 4 tokens on a bookmark or save them for later. Give one possible benefit of spending and one possible benefit of saving.
9.Invent a useful new job for this mini-society. Name the service or product, suggest a fair payment in tokens, and explain why people might want it.
