More than a slide deck

This pack is designed as a joined-up teaching system for IB Economics Units 1 and 2. Students do not simply encounter definitions and diagrams: they are repeatedly asked to calculate, draw, explain, connect, apply and evaluate.

Slides are classroom-ready but editable, allowing teachers to adapt pacing and context while keeping a coherent learning journey. Links embedded throughout the lessons connect students to digital flashcards, short topic quizzes and Key to the Concept activities so learning can continue beyond the presentation itself.

Built for deeper economic thinking

Questions move beyond What? towards Why? So what? What changes? Who gains? Who loses? Real-world examples make abstract models meaningful, while exam-style diagrams, calculations and evaluative prompts help students build the reasoning expected in IB Economics.

Micro Causal Chains included

The Microeconomics Causal Chains collection is included with this pack, helping students articulate cause-and-effect relationships rather than simply memorising outcomes.
