Development Indicators Sort Cards

About this printable

This A4 printable contains many small, dashed-line cut-out cards, each showing an indicator name, an icon, and a one-line definition (e.g., GDP per capita, infant mortality rate, HDI, Gini coefficient, CO2 emissions per capita). The lesson prompt asks students to sort cards into two groups: indicators typically higher in More Developed Countries (MDCs) or higher in Less Developed Countries (LDCs). Use it to consolidate understanding of what different indicators measure and to prompt discussion about how development is represented numerically.
