  1. Read this first

    Six countries, one more measure

    Columns Country | GDP per person (US$, World Bank) | Year: Brazil | 10,310 | 2024; Cuba | 9,605 | 2020; Mexico | 13,988 | 2024; Germany | 56,104 | 2024; Russia | 14,962 | 2024; United Kingdom | 53,341 | 2024. Then, below the table: Cause and effect chain "What a single number can and cannot show": [1] GDP per person: the value of a year's goods and services divided by the people; [2] it depends on many things: resources, skills, trade, history and the system; [3] it says little about how income is shared or how people live; [4] economists debate how much the system itself explains. Arrows: 1 → 2, 2 → 3, 2 → 4. Below the chain: the figures are for different years where newer ones were not published (Cuba's latest is 2020), so they are not ranked here.

  2. What is Mexico's GDP per person, by the table, Luz asks?

    • $14,962
    • $1,399
    • $10,310
    • $13,988

  3. Why does the note say the figures are not ranked, Milo asks?

    • They measure different things
    • They are from different years
    • They are each from 2020
    • They are made up

  4. Germany's figure is about $56,104 and Brazil's about $10,310. About how many times larger is Germany's, Noah asks?

    • About 0.18 times
    • About 5.4 times
    • About 45,793 times
    • About 54 times

  5. By the chain, what does GDP per person depend on, Pia asks?

    • Many things, such as history
    • The economic system alone
    • Nothing
    • The weather alone

  6. What does the chain say GDP per person shows little about, Ren asks?

    • How income is shared
    • The value of goods and services
    • How many people there are
    • Trade

  7. Why can GDP per person not show which system is better, by the chain, Zee asks?

    • Many causes are involved
    • It measures each family's happiness
    • It is the same everywhere
    • It counts systems directly

  8. Why might Cuba's newest figure be from 2020, Ari asks?

    • 2020 is the latest year for each country
    • Cuba has no economy
    • Newer figures were not published
    • The table is made up

  9. Which sentence about the six countries is careful, Bo asks?

    • The figures show which system works better
    • Economists agree the system explains each difference
    • It differs, and many causes explain it
    • The figures are equal

  10. Which sentence describes the countries without taking a side, Esme asks?

    • Germany should copy Cuba
    • Russia's system works worse than others
    • Cuba should copy the United Kingdom
    • Figures, years, who decides

  11. Jun's note says, "GDP per person shows how income is shared." Which fix is right?

    • Change it: it shows the weather
    • Leave it: it shows how income is shared
    • Change it: it shows the system
    • Change it: little about sharing
