Econ and Me
ECON AND ME revolves around four children and their invisible friend, Econ, who apply economic principles to individuals, families, and communities. Students learn about economics, social studies, communication, mathematics, and problem solving.
Economics
ECONOMICS introduces students to the basic concepts of economics, which are important in negotiating the everchanging world of job, business, and life decisions. The series lays a strong foundation for making wise choices in our increasingly economics-driven future.
Economics U$A
Explore the fundamentals of economic history, theory, and practice, including microeconomics and macroeconomics, through interviews with Nobel Prize-winning economists. The series features Milton Friedman, Paul Samuelson, John Kenneth Galbraith, Walter Heller, and others. In each program, case studies of major economic events show how economic theory relates to the real world. This series is also valuable for teachers seeking to review the subject matter.
Trade-Offs
Each program in this series presents a story about a fundamental economic principle. The dramatic storyline is reinforced by an animated segment which illustrates the message conveyed in the story. The Trade-Offs approach is to help students think their way through personal problems involving economics.
