• Students use data to construct a line graph.

• Students discuss the law of demand and apply it to the graph to understand that at lower prices, the students will purchase more doughnuts.

Procedure

Walk into the classroom holding a newspaper and eating a doughnut.

Ask the students if they enjoy eating doughnuts.

Read the book The Donut Chef and discuss favorite flavors of doughnuts and record on the board where they usually purchase them.

Ask if they know how often they buy doughnuts, and discuss other ideas about doughnuts to interest them in the topic.

Procedure

Ask the students to think about the price of the doughnuts. Tell them the owners of a new shop don’t know what to charge. Ask them if they are willing to help the owners.

Have the students complete a demand schedule.

Procedure

VISUAL: MY DEMAND SCHEDULEFOR DAYDREAM DOUGHNUTS

Directions: Pretend you receive a weekly $10 allowance. Although you might want to spend all $10 on doughnuts, remember that your $10 allowance must pay for all of your expenses during the week, such as soft drinks, ice cream, books, toys, movies, video games and donations. Record the number of doughnuts you would be willing and able to buy at each price during one week, using one week’s allowance. Remember, if you are willing and able to buy a number of doughnuts at a certain price, you should be willing and able to buy at least this same number of doughnuts — and probably more — at any lower price.

Demand: The schedule of the quantity of a good or service that people are willing and able to buy at different prices during a given time period.

Law of demand: People are willing and able to buy less of a good or service at a higher price and more of a good or service at a lower price, when income and prices of other items remain the same.
