Book Description

AIMS For the student, the workbook provides an opportunity to put in practice material covered in class by the teacher. It is meant to be a proactive tool to help consolidate detailed knowledge of economics concepts and can help in preparation for class tests as well as mid-term and final exams. Students are encouraged to write in the margins, add notes and doodle to customise the workbook. For the teacher, this answer book carries all the answers to the questions as well as detailed explanations of the evaluation questions. The evaluation questions can be set as mini-essays in class and for homework to enhance the students' essay writing skills. The other questions provide a way of ensuring students have adequate knowledge, analysis and evaluation skills to approach exam questions. The workbook can act as a record of student progress in class and at home. Each chapter is designed to develop knowledge, analysis and evaluation skills. It is important to note that the aim of the workbook was not to address specifically any single exam but rather to fully develop the necessary skills required to understand economics. The questions set, vary in difficulty and cater to the needs of students of all abilities. Asterisks, * and ** are used to point out challenging questions. For parents, the workbook is aimed to close the gap between what is being taught in class and the work being done by the student.
