Supply and
Demand
A MARKET IN WHEAT
Today’s Objective

After today’s lesson, students will be able to…
 Explain

how supply and demand work together
Essential Skill:
 Demonstrate
understanding of concepts
A Market in Wheat
 Read
over the instructions for this activity
BUY AND SELL!
ROUND 1
ROUND 2
ROUND 3
Hints!

More transactions = More chances at profit. You must
buy and sell each round

You should not let other students see your card

You can only have one card at a time

You do not have to make a profit with every transaction.
Win the war, not all the battles.

Check in on the class transactions tally to see what
wheat is going for these days!
What your graph should look like:

“Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of





The quotation is correct: a decrease in price causes a decrease in supply.
The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes an increase in supply, not a
decrease in supply.
The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes an increase in the quantity
supplied, not a decrease in supply.
The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes a decrease in the quantity
supplied, not a decrease in supply.
Bottom Line
 The
price of nearly everything that
you buy is determined by the
interaction of supply and demand.
Supply and demand also determine
the quantity of goods and services
that are bought and sold in a market.
Putting it Together

To determine price, we put both the
supply and demand curve together
on the same graph

Next we establish an equilibrium
price: point at which the quantity
supplied equals the quantity
demanded

Equilibrium is found at the point
where the two lines intersect

Surplus

CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY
AND DEMAND
If supply and
demand decrease
by the same
amount, price will
be unchanged and
the quantity will
decrease.
CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY AND
DEMAND
If supply
decreases less
than demand,
price will
decrease and
quantity will
decrease.
CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY
AND DEMAND
If supply
decreases more
than demand,
price will increase
and quantity will
decrease.
CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY
AND DEMAND
If supply increases
and demand
decreases, the price
will decrease and the
quantity will not
change.
Practice
 Take
a worksheet from the front to
practice double shifts. There will also be
examples of single shifts
