Console Quest

Worksheet Description

The “Console Quest – A Supply and Demand Adventure” worksheet simulates a classroom experience where students manage a video game store. They face various scenarios that test their understanding of supply and demand, such as selling out products rapidly, receiving new inventory, and adjusting to market changes due to new game releases or promotional sales. Each question prompts students to analyze how these events affect the store’s supply and demand and to make decisions based on that analysis. The goal is for students to apply economic concepts to manage inventory and maximize sales effectively.

This worksheet is designed to teach students about the practical application of supply and demand in a business setting that is familiar and engaging to them. Through role-play as store managers, students explore how different factors, like increased inventory or a new popular game, impact the equilibrium between supply and demand. They learn to predict and reason through the consequences of market changes on product pricing and availability. The worksheet encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as students must devise strategies to respond to the dynamic economic environment of a video game store.
