First Term Syllabus – Grade 8 Economics

1 The basic economic problem 1.1 The nature of the economic problem Topic 1.1.1 finite resources and unlimited wants 1.1.2 economic and free goods Guidance Definition and examples of the economic problem in the contexts of: consumers; workers; producers; and governments. The difference between economic goods and free goods. 1.2 The factors of production Topic 1.2.1 definitions of the factors of production and their rewards 1.2.2 mobility of the factors of production 1.2.3 quantity and quality of the factors of production Guidance Definitions and examples of land, labour, capital and enterprise. Examples of the nature of each factor of production. The influences on the mobility of the various factors. The causes of changes in the quantity and quality of the various factors.

1.3 Opportunity cost Topic 1.3.1 definition of opportunity cost 1.3.2 the influence of opportunity cost on decision making Guidance Definition and examples of opportunity cost in different contexts. Decisions made by consumers, workers, producers and governments when allocating their resources.

1.4 Production possibility curve diagrams (PPC) Topic 1.4.1 definition of PPC 1.4.2 points under, on and beyond a PPC 1.4.3 movements along a PPC 1.4.4 shifts in a PPC Guidance Definition, drawing and interpretation of appropriate diagrams. The significance of the location of production points. Movements along a PPC and opportunity cost.The causes and consequences of shifts in a PPC in terms of an economy’s growth. 2 The allocation of resources 2.1 Microeconomics and macroeconomics Topic 2.1.1 microeconomics 2.1.2 macroeconomics Guidance The difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics and the decision makers involved in each. 2.2 The role of markets in allocating resources Topic 2.2.1 the market system 2.2.2 key resources allocation decisions 2.2.3 introduction to the price mechanism Guidance How a market system works; including buyers, sellers, allocation of scarce resources, market equilibrium, and market disequilibrium. Establishing that the economic problem creates three key questions about determining resource allocation– what to produce, how, and for whom. How the price mechanism provides answers to these key allocation questions. 2.3 Demand Topic 2.3.1 definition of demand 2.3.2 price and demand 2.3.3 individual and market demand 2.3.4 conditions of demand Guidance Definition, drawing and interpretation of appropriate diagrams.
