About this worksheet

Supply and demand explain how the amount available and the number of buyers can affect prices and choices in a market asks fourth graders to use civic, geographic, historical, or economic evidence instead of choosing a familiar-sounding word. Students may think prices change for no reason, or they may notice high demand without checking whether supply is also limited or increasing. This worksheet keeps each question tied to a concrete classroom, community, map, source, or market situation so students must decide what the evidence shows. Students identify demand changes, identify supply changes, read shortage and surplus evidence, and predict likely price movement from concrete market situations. Support versions use close-to-home examples and direct wording. Standard and challenge versions add similar choices that require closer reading of the role, location, source, or tradeoff. Ask your child to underline the clue in the prompt before choosing. If an option is true in general but does not match the exact situation, it is probably a distractor. That habit builds the evidence reading needed for later history and civics work.

What your child will learn

  • Identify demand
  • Identify supply
  • Recognize shortages and surplus
  • Predict price changes

Worked example

If many people want rain boots after a storm forecast but the store has few pairs, the price may rise because demand is high and supply is limited.

Common mistake

Looking only at what buyers want and ignoring how many items sellers have.

Helpful hint

Compare buyer demand with seller supply before predicting price.
