The Incredible Changing Price
Week Overview
Students explore dynamic pricing and its real-world implications, analyzing cases such as fluctuating airline tickets, hotel rates during events, and amusement park admissions. They calculate and compare price changes, considering fairness and legality, as seen in a lawsuit involving Ticketmaster. The lesson links math to consumer behavior and public policy while reinforcing skills in data interpretation and critical reasoning (aligned with standards 3.DA.1 and 4.DA.1). Students learn to evaluate how economic principles influence decision-making.
