Grade 3 · Vlad is 9
Vlad Earns and Exchanges
How markets work: earning, trading, and comparing before you buy.
The market is full of things Vlad wants — and full of lessons. When the same toy costs less at the stall across the lane, Vlad starts asking the questions markets are built on.
What your students learn
- Where prices come from — the same trompo, two stalls, two prices
- Comparing value, not just cost
- Earning through real work and fair exchange
- Why sellers and buyers both need each other
