Year 11 Economics introduces students to how consumers, businesses, markets and governments make economic decisions.
Students need more than definitions. They need to understand economic relationships, interpret data and diagrams, apply economic concepts to real situations and explain how changes in one part of the economy can affect another.
At Markitup, students build these skills throughout Year 11 so they are ready for the more complex economic issues and policy questions they will encounter in Year 12.
Our program follows the current NSW Economics Stage 6 syllabus and covers all six Preliminary topics: Introduction to Economics, Consumers and Business, Markets, Labour Markets, Financial Markets, and Government in the Economy.
The Preliminary course is primarily microeconomic in nature and provides the foundation for the HSC course.

Our Economics materials include:
The Preliminary course covers six topics.
Students are introduced to the fundamental ideas behind economics and how economic decisions are made.
Students begin developing the economic language and analytical skills they will use throughout the course.
Students examine the behaviour of consumers and businesses and the factors that influence their economic decisions.
Students learn to connect economic concepts with real-world decisions made by consumers and businesses.
Students examine how markets operate and how prices are determined through the interaction of demand and supply.
Students practise using economic diagrams to explain changes in market conditions and their effects.
Students investigate the operation of labour markets and the factors affecting employment and wages.
Students learn to analyse labour market changes using economic concepts, data and diagrams.
Students examine the role and operation of financial markets in the Australian economy.
Students learn how financial markets affect consumers, businesses and the wider economy.
Students examine the role of government in managing economic activity and influencing economic outcomes.
Students begin connecting government decisions with broader economic outcomes.
Economics is not simply about knowing what a term means.
Students need to understand why something happens, what changes and what the consequences may be.
We teach students to move through:
Economic diagrams and data are an important part of the Year 11 course.
Students learn not just to draw a diagram, but to explain what it shows and why the change has occurred.
Build stronger Economics skills from the beginning of Year 11.
Students need to understand relationships between economic concepts.
For example, rather than simply memorising the definition of demand, students learn to analyse what happens when:
This type of cause-and-effect thinking is developed throughout the course.
Not sure what your child needs help with?
Strong Economics responses require precise terminology, clear reasoning and relevant economic examples.
We focus on helping students answer the question that was asked, rather than reproducing memorised notes.
Economics is closely connected to what happens in the Australian economy.
Students learn to apply concepts to current economic situations involving:
This helps students understand how economic theory connects to the world around them.
Year 11 is when students begin developing the analytical and writing skills they will need for Year 12 Economics.
Students can strengthen their understanding while staying connected to what they are currently learning at school.
Regular practice helps students retain economic concepts and become more confident applying them independently.
Homework is matched to the content being covered and the skills students need to develop.
Our Year 11 program progressively develops students' analytical skills.
Learn the economic concepts and terminology.
Describe how economic relationships work.
Use economic concepts in real and hypothetical situations.
Examine data, diagrams and economic changes.
Construct clear economic responses using appropriate evidence and terminology.
Our Year 11 program follows the current NSW Economics Stage 6 syllabus. The Preliminary course consists of six topics:
The Preliminary course is designed as the foundation for the HSC course, which moves into the global economy, Australia's place in the global economy, economic issues, and economic policies and management.

Help with assessments, research tasks and areas of difficulty from school.
Year 11 and 12 students can trial one lesson for every subject before enrolling.

Understanding economic relationships, interpreting data, using diagrams and writing clear analytical responses are skills that develop over time. At Markitup, students build these skills progressively throughout Year 11 rather than waiting until HSC preparation begins.
Let your child experience a Markitup Economics lesson before enrolling.
Economics involves new terminology, concepts, diagrams, data and analytical writing. Students need to understand how economic ideas connect rather than simply memorise definitions.
Not necessarily. Some students use tutoring to strengthen their understanding, while others want additional practice with diagrams, data analysis and written responses.
Economics includes some mathematical concepts and calculations, but the course also requires students to interpret data, analyse relationships and communicate economic ideas.
Applying economic concepts to real-world situations is an important part of developing economic understanding. We encourage students to connect what they learn to current economic situations.
Our classes have a maximum of 8 students.
