About this resource

Description

Imports are goods that one country buys from another country. This imports worksheet helps 3rd graders see how much of what they use every day comes from far away. Toys, shoes, and even the bananas in a lunch box often travel across an ocean or a border before they reach a store shelf, and a quick look at a label shows exactly where each item was made.

On this worksheet, students read a tally chart from a class label hunt. The chart lists five countries, including the United States. Students count the tally marks for each country, write the total in the chart, and then add the totals to find how many items the class checked in all. In Part B, they use the chart to name the country with the most items, figure out how many items were imports, and explain in writing why a store might sell fruit grown in another country.

What’s Included

  • A tally chart of items from five countries to count and total
  • Three questions about imports, including one written response
  • A full answer key

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

First, it connects economics to real things children hold every day, so the idea of trade feels close to home. Second, it builds data skills, because students read tally marks, add totals, and compare numbers in a chart. Third, the question about imports asks students to leave out the items made in the United States, which checks that they truly understand what an import is.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

After the imports worksheet, send students on their own label hunt at home or in the classroom and have them build a tally chart just like the one on the page. Mark each country on a world map and talk about why some goods, like bananas or coffee, grow better in warm places. You can pair this page with the exports worksheet so students see both sides of trade, or use it as a quick 3rd grade economics worksheet for centers, homework, or a substitute plan.
