Econ Word Search
This worksheet is designed as a fast finishers worksheet for our Year 5 HASS unit for economics and business. It is a great way to get your students looking at the terms of this unit and encourages them to write out definitions for three of them on the back of the page.
Learning goals

- We are learning to understand the types of resources (natural, human, capital) and the ways societies use them to satisfy the needs and wants of present and future generations.
- We are learning to understand the influences on consumer choices and methods that can be used to help make informed personal consumer and financial choices.
