This resource consists of various Inflation Resources- lessons, graphics, presentations, assignments and quiz questions for teachers to use with Module 33: Macroeconomics within the Financial Literacy courses

In this lesson students will learn about how inflation impacts every Canadian, as it is part of every purchase we require to live: housing, food, clothing, entertainment and more. The calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is demonstrated through the basket of goods that make up the CPI figures. Knowing about inflation and the impact on financial decisions is very important for students to learn to “stay ahead”; meaning money earned/income needs to equal or be greater than money spent/ expenses, or they will “fall behind” financially. The lesson ends with a demonstration of a single good, calculating the “Big Mac Inflation” and comparing this to all other goods.
