Homeschool Economics?

Question

Does anyone now of a good Economics curriculum for homeschoolers? We're looking for one that doesn't have a religious or conservative viewpoint, and if at all possible, something that includes lots of project-based or somewhat hands-on activities, or something we can adapt to add our own.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you looking for one prevalent to today's time, or would you use one that was published in the 90's?

The one I used was from that time and it had great exercise and was an interesting text. It was titled "Introduction to Economics"  and it was published by CTES/EMC.  I still have my books. I used them for the 9th grade.

It's adaptable. There was originally a workbook with it, but we never bought that item, we found our own to do.

Answer 3

Here is a series of video that may be something to re-inforce and/or give you ideas of things to study.  You can use your creativity for the hands-on activities.

   The series  was done a few years ago so don't let the guy's big glasses distract from the good information.    It has lot's of history of economics in the USA .
