Additional Information

Inspired by Dr. Montessori’s vision of human interdependence, this Economic Geography curriculum helps children explore the intricate web of cooperation that sustains society. Through engaging, real-world examples, students discover how individuals and professions are connected, from the farmer growing wheat, to the baker producing bread, to the shopkeeper delivering it to the community.

Using hands-on materials, children work with cards representing occupations, helpers, and transportation systems to investigate key questions such as:

Where do our goods come from?
What does each person produce?
Who does each worker depend on?

Each activity highlights the collaborative processes behind everyday products, fostering a deep understanding of economic interdependence and global connection.

It includes the following 7 charts:

A1 – Where Do We Get Our Bread?
A2 – Where Do We Get Our Meat?
A3 – Where Do We Get Our Clothes?
B1 – What Does the Farmer Need?
B2 – What Does the Toolmaker Need?
C1 – How Many Things Do We Get from the Farmer?
C2 – An Economy

A comprehensive lesson plan is included, guiding educators through impressionistic lessons and hands-on explorations. Lessons begin with familiar experiences (such as a child’s lunch) and expand into broader concepts like production, transport, cooperation, and the role of government, taxes, and utilities in supporting society.

Through this curriculum, students:
Understand the origin and journey of everyday goods
Recognize the roles of workers, helpers, and transport systems
Explore the concept of interdependence in society
Build a foundational understanding of economic systems, including trade, services, and taxation
