- Abstract
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is one of my favourite topics to teach as part of the Microeconomic Syllabus. However, the simple mathematics which is required to fully grasp the concept often puts some of my pupils off before they have even started. All my sixth form pupils are capable of understanding PED at a mathematical, and conceptual level. Furthermore, all achieve full understanding by the end of the course. What is noticeable, however, is that the pupils who approach the topic with a negative attitude take considerably longer to grasp all aspects of the topic, and usually produce weaker analysis.
