CONTENT ELABORATION
Students at this level begin to think like economists as they practice comparing sets of data to draw conclusions.
These data sets may include information related to international trade, availability of natural resources, or population.
Students should be challenged to examine multiple sets of data and draw conclusions about relationships among them. Examples of relationships between data sets could be:
exports and imports;
trade patterns and the availability of natural resources; and
life expectancy and level of education.
