How to teach Bartering

Using this Barter System Worksheet, students learn about how the barter system works by engaging thinking of two goods with equal value.

Bartering is a system of trading goods and services that was once used instead of money. This worksheet gives your students a peek into that system by encouraging them to think of goods and services that hold equal value.

This worksheet gives students the chance to engage in the bartering system. By participating, your students gain a perspective of what it was like to not have money but to trade for things that you want or need.

Other resources to use with this Barter System Worksheet

If you are using this worksheet, you are probably learning about how life was long ago.

Use this Industrial Revolution Worksheet as an additional resource to support your students.

Introduce this worksheet by asking your students how they could get different goods or services that they might like or need. Then, give examples of poor trading options like one lemon for 20 limes. That’s not fair! Finally, have students complete the worksheet independently or with a partner.
