Coverage. All four units of the current DP Economics syllabus — Introduction to Economics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and the Global Economy — with every subtopic delivered as a structured lesson plan, student worksheet and mark scheme, framed by the nine key concepts (scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well-being, sustainability, change, interdependence, intervention) and the assessment objectives (AO1–AO4).

How the lessons work. Each lesson follows a clear teaching arc — a hook to surface prior thinking, guided development of the theory, structured practice, and an applied or evaluative task — with explicit learning objectives, command-term focus, ATL skill links and differentiation built in. Real-world issues and data anchor the analysis throughout.

Assessment-ready. Every subtopic ends with exam-style questions and a full mark scheme, so assessment is ready out of the box. SL and HL content is distinguished where the syllabus requires it, supporting teaching from first lessons through to Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 preparation.
