Bartering
Before money was created, people used to barter, or trade, to get
all the things they needed.
Here, the farmer is trading with the baker. The farmer has many items from the farm, but does not have time to bake.
The baker needs items from the farm, and so trades baked goods, such as bread, for farm goods, such as carrots. Now both people can have everything they need.
How do you decide how many breads equals one carrot?
What if the baker only needs one carrot, but for one bread gets four carrots? Then those carrots would be wasted.

Money was created to solve the problems found in the barter system.

How does money solve the bartering problem?
What other things do you think people traded?
What if the farmer does not want anything from the baker?

Spend, Save, or Share
There are three main things that we may do with our money: spend money, save money, or share money with others. What is your favorite thing you like to do with your money?
Why would you share money?
Why would you save money?

Receiving Money
Before we can spend, save, or share our money, we need to get money. How do you think we can get money? Some ways we get money include doing work, getting money as a gift, or getting an allowance from your parents.Where do you get money?

Goods
One type of thing we can spend money on is called goods. Goods are what you can touch and feel, like toys, food, clothes, and books.What type of goods do you spend your money on?What type of goods do your parents spend their money on?

Services
Things that you can buy that you can't touch or feel are called services. Services are such things as getting your car washed, or seeing a movie.
What other types of services can you think of?

Supply
One of the most basic concepts of economics is Supply and Demand. These are really two separate things, but they are almost always talked about together.
Supply is how much of something is available. If you have 9 baseball cards, then your supply of baseball cards is 9.
If you have 6 apples, then your supply of apples is 6.
![Page 14: Basic Economics Learning about money. Currency Money comes in two forms paper and coins. Are there other forms of currency? Who is on the dollar bill?](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649dff5503460f94ae7e0e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DemandDemand is how much of something people want. Measuring demand is just like measuring supply .
If 8 people want baseball cards, then we can say that the demand for baseball cards is 8.
If 6 people want apples, then we can say that the demand for apples is 6.

Supply and Demand
Generally speaking, the supply of something will go up if the demand goes up. The price will go up too.
Why? Because the seller thinks he or she can get more money for whatever he or she is selling.
In the same way, the supply will go down when the demand goes down. The price will go down too.
