Such a course places particular emphasis on the nature and function of product markets and includes the study of factor markets and of the role of government in promoting greater efficiency and equity in the economy. Students learn to use graphs, charts, and data to analyze, describe, and explain economic concepts.  \nThe Big Ideas  \nThe following are the big ideas that serve as the foundation of the course and allow students to create meaningful connections among concepts.  \nBIG IDEA 1: SCARCITY AND MARKETS (MKT)  \nLimited resources and unlimited wants result in the need to make choices. In a market economy, the choices of buyers and sellers determine market prices and the allocation of scarce resources.  \nBIG IDEA 2: COSTS, BENEFITS, AND MARGINAL ANALYSIS (CBA)  \nThere are trade‐offs associated with any decision. Making optimal decisions requires evaluating the additional costs and benefits of possible actions.  \nBIG IDEA 3: PRODUCTION CHOICES AND BEHAVIOR (PRD)  \nFirms seek to minimize costs and maximize profits, which influences their production decisions in the short run and long run.  \nBIG IDEA 4: MARKET INEFFICIENCY AND PUBLIC POLICY (POL)  \nPrivate markets can fail to allocate resources efficiently, and well‐designed public policy can endeavor to promote greater efficiency and equity in the economy.  \nSpiraling the Big Ideas  \nThe table below shows how the big ideas spiral across AP microeconomics units and the chapters in the textbook of choice, Foundations of Economics AP Edition, Robin Bade and Michael Parkin, Eigth Edition, Pearson 2018:.  \n\n| UNITS 􀃖\u003Cbr>BIG IDEAS\u003Cbr>􀃘 | Unit 1\u003Cbr>Basic Economic\u003Cbr>Concepts | Unit 2\u003Cbr>Supply and Demand | Unit 3\u003Cbr>Production, Cost, and the Perfect\u003Cbr>Competition Model | Unit 4\u003Cbr>Imperfect Competition | Unit 5\u003Cbr>Factor Markets | Unit 6\u003Cbr>Market Failure and the Role of Government |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Scarcity and Markets MKT | \u003Cbr>MKT\u003Cbr>CH1, CH2\u003Cbr>CH3 CH6, | \u003Cbr>MKT\u003Cbr>CH4,CH5 |  |  |  |  |\n| Costs, Benefits, and Marginal Analysis CBA | \u003Cbr>CBA\u003Cbr>CH3, CH6 |  | \u003Cbr>CBA\u003Cbr>CH6, CH14, CH15 |  |  |  |\n| Production Choices and Behavior PRD |  |  | \u003Cbr>PRD\u003Cbr>CH3, CH14, CH15 | \u003Cbr>PRD\u003Cbr>CH16,\u003Cbr>CH17, CH18 | \u003Cbr>PRD\u003Cbr>CH19 |  |\n| Market Inefficiency\u003Cbr>and Public Policy POL |  | \u003Cbr>POL\u003Cbr>CH4, CH6,CH7, CH8 |  |  | CH16,\u003Cbr>CH17 | \u003Cbr>POL\u003Cbr>CH6, CH7, CH8 |\n\nTeaching Strategies  \n1. Class discussion: Emphasis will be placed on the importance of considering different approaches and viewpoints.  \n2. Critical thinking and the linking of theoretical knowledge with current events in the U.S. economy will be encouraged.  \n3. Assignments and exams: Each week, at the end of the week there will be an evaluation of the week's work. Students have quizzes, prepare presentations or answer questions about the work covered.  \n4. Homework from an AP Test Prep Series and MyLab Economics will be assigned and evaluated.  \n5. Should students need to pay attention to certain sections in greater detail, time at the end of the school day will be set aside for this purpose.  \nStudent Activities  \n􀁸 Students will be required to watch news bulletins about the latest economic developments in the US and globally.  \n􀁸 Selected articles from The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and other sources will be distributed for reading and critical evaluation.  \n􀁸 Classroom quizzes and presentations.  \n􀁸 Homework assignments.
