Striker Jones doesn't know he's an economic wizard, but, boy, is he! He doesn't need a magnifying glass or fingerprint kit to solve the crime-- and neither will your students!
Written for children ages 7-10, Striker Jones will teach your students basic economics without them even knowing it, including concepts such as supply and demand, mutually beneficial trade, and competition. The stories are not packed with economic jargon, but they will subtly convey economic concepts that form the basis for a lifetime of good decision-making.
This is a paperback book signed by the author.
See my other product offerings for the e-book version and for accompanying lesson plans to draw out explicitly the economic lessons as a class.
If you enjoy this product, please leave a review! Thank you!
From Review by Rutgers University EconKids Project:
"Striker Jones is an excellent text for older elementary students beginning to grasp more and more complicated economic concepts. Through its easy flowing narrative with lots of conversational dialogue, children will learn to see that economics affect their daily life far more than they realized!"

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I specialize in economics enrichment for kids and love showing them how economics is fun and affects their daily lives! I am the author of a children's mystery book that teaches economics, and I am beginning a new position as an adjunct professor of economics for a four-year private college. In the past, I've taught in grades three through six. I'll be developing more products soon, so if there is a particular economic concept you need an activity for, please let me know!
