1. Scarcity and choice

Build secure GCSE / Key Stage 4 understanding of scarcity and choice in Economics.

A common misconception is treating scarcity and choice in Economics as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for scarcity and choice Extension: Extend toward markets once scarcity and choice is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising scarcity and choice.

Later outcome: A-Level Economics - Stretch scarcity and choice toward A-Level Economics once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Answer an exam-style Economics question where scarcity and choice is necessary but not named directly.

Mastery signal: Explains scarcity and choice in their own words
