Entrepreneurship Worksheets

About this resource

Teaching entrepreneurship and need sheets students can read, sort, calculate and write on? This is a complete set for grades 6-8: two short readings (what an entrepreneur does; cost, price and profit), word work, two cut-and-paste sorts, a six-sheet business planner, scenario sheets, find the mistake, two quizzes and a teacher section, with answer keys.

Built For The Student Holding The Page

A "My name" line, one short instruction with a small picture cue, a plain scalloped border and big ruled and answer boxes. Every ruled writing box has at least 3 lines. Nothing on a student sheet is written for an adult: the keys and records are on separate teacher sheets. The cut sheets have 12 pieces in a 4 by 3 grid, edge to edge, so there are only a few straight cuts. There is no clip art: the file is plain type, boxes and borders, written for older students, and it prints clean in black and white.

General Ideas, Not Advice

Each reading is a plain-words summary written for this file, in the way a middle school economics unit teaches the basics: an entrepreneur starts a business with an idea, needs customers, takes a risk, and earns a profit when the income is more than the costs. It does not quote any source, it says nothing about taxes, licenses or what a business will earn, and it is not tied to a particular standard. Check the readings against your own textbook. The only people in the file are invented, and each says so. All money amounts are written in words, so every number can be checked on the page.

Type In, Or Print

The name line, every answer box, every check box, every ruled work box and the table cells are type-in fields in any PDF reader: click one, type, then save. The cut sheets are for a pencil and scissors: they print. Print at 100 percent so the pieces stay the size they are drawn. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A set of entrepreneurship sheets and readings with the record-keeping around it. It is not a timed test, a screener, a clinical tool, or a claim about any student's age or rate of progress. There is no IEP goal language or eligibility wording anywhere in the file, no income, tax or legal guidance, and no claim of alignment to any standard.
