How can a simple bracelet stand turn into a real-life lesson about money and decision-making?
In this episode of Historical Perspectives, students follow Maya as she discovers how supply and demand work through her bracelet business at school. When more classmates want her bracelets than she has available, prices go up. When she makes more bracelets and demand slows down, prices begin to drop. Through this relatable story, students learn how supply, demand, and price are connected—and how finding the right balance helps both buyers and sellers.
This engaging, kid-friendly episode helps students understand basic economics in a way that feels real and meaningful, while encouraging them to think about how they make choices as both buyers and creators.
