This individual activity requires students to make a choice and identify their opportunity cost. People make choices every day because they cannot have everything they want. When they make a choice, they give up something else they would like to have. Their second best choice is called an opportunity cost. To complete this activity, students should follow the instructions below:
- Choose which format you would like to answer the questions: the Quizizz activity, Toy Choices Game Worksheet, or the ReadyAssessments Activity.
- Choose one toy out of the two options given then, discuss with the class or write one paragraph explaining why you made this choice.
