Complete 75-min IB Economics Aggregate Demand lesson with SL/HL differentiation, concept cards, quizzes, and Keynesian multiplier practice.

Deliver a comprehensive, exam-focused lesson on Subtopic 3.2 (Aggregate Demand) with this premium, fully differentiated lesson plan and practice pack. Structured entirely around an engaging real-world case study of the Kaimura economy, this resource provides a rigorous framework for navigating the critical macro concepts your students need to master for their IB DP assessments.

What is included?
75-Minute Lesson Plan: A phase-by-phase classroom delivery guide tracking from hook to final assessment.
Teacher Deck Slide Guide: A dedicated mapping table that aligns your presentation slides to each phase of the lesson.
Student Concept Cards (Bonus Resource 1): A standalone, student-friendly handout utilizing an “In one line | Meaning | Apply it” framework for independent study.
Practice & Consolidation Pack (Bonus Resource 2): Includes a “Fact or Fiction” worksheet, a “Rapid Rewind” summary sheet, and a 5-question Practice Quiz. Exam & IA Support: Complete paper template setups, diagram pairs analysis, and highly relevant Internal Assessment (IA) article tags.
Teacher Answer Key & Reteach Guide: Full answers, mathematical workings, and strategic pedagogical guidance kept separate for seamless printing.

Topics Covered
The Aggregate Demand equation: $AD = C + I + G + (X - M)$
Why the AD Curve slopes downward (Wealth, Interest Rate, and International Trade effects)
Determinants of Consumption ($C$), Investment ($I$), Government Spending ($G$), and Net Exports ($NX$)
Crucial distinction between a Movement Along vs. a Shift of the AD curve
HL Only: The Keynesian Multiplier formula, MPC, MPS, and import leakage calculations.

Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to:
Write and precisely explain the components of the Aggregate Demand equation. Draw a correctly labeled AD diagram and explain the structural reasons behind its downward slope.
List and classify the specific determinants that shift each component of AD. Confidently classify any economic change as either a movement along the curve or a full curve shift.
HL Only: Calculate the Keynesian multiplier using MPC/MPS and analyze the total multiplied impact of an injection or shock on national income.

Classroom Uses
Whole-Class Teaching: Deliver a cohesive, 75-minute interactive lecture using the step-by-step teacher script and slide guide.
Differentiated Learning: Run seamless parallel tracks for SL and HL cohorts during application, practice, and evaluation phases.
Revision & Homework: Deploy the standalone concept cards and summary sheets for independent student study or post-lesson consolidation.
Exam Preparation: Use the guided practice questions and “Examiner Tips” to stamp out high-frequency diagram and data interpretation errors.
