AP® Microeconomics
Girls Only & All Genders Course; Prerequisite -Successful completion of Algebra II; Full Year Course
Course Overview
AP® Microeconomics gives students an understanding of how limited resources and unlimited wants result in the need to make choices, both individually and collectively. Students will learn why private markets and the price mechanism lead to an efficient allocation of resources in a market-based economy. Market structure, market failure, natural resource markets, and the role of government are included. Students analyze societal issues through the lens of economic reasoning, develop critical thinking skills through the understanding and analysis of fundamental economic concepts, and increase their ability to analyze information and draw conclusions from a wide variety of real-world situations. Students complete collaborative assignments, group discussions, and assessments that require them to apply what they have learned to hypothetical situations. The curriculum is developed to prepare students for the AP® Microeconomics Exam in May. The course is recommended for 11th and 12th graders with strong mathematical reasoning skills and an interest in economics, finance, business, or government policy.
