Suggested Money Inflation Lesson Plan for this Worksheet

 

Ask students what is the meaning of the following picture:

(Time and money losing value)

Why does money lose value over time? (inflation).

 

Inflation is a decrease in the value of purchasing power as the result of demand for more goods than producers can supply.  As a result, if you want to buy something for a dollar today, it will cost you more the following year.  This concept is also known as inflation.  Inflation results in higher prices, making goods and services potentially more expensive and less affordable.
