Each tile can reveal a question or topic designed to provoke thought and encourage students to share their ideas. This method fosters critical thinking and helps students engage with the material in a more dynamic way.
This exercise combines video content with learning, allowing students to explore key economic concepts at their own pace.

This flexible approach works well as both a class activity or individual task, promoting self-paced learning and reinforcing key economic principles.

Tip Tiles make it easy to introduce and reinforce classroom expectations. Each tile shows an icon representing a rule. When students tilt the tile, they reveal the full rule with a short explanation.
