Shrinkflation - Updated


📈💵In this updated activity, students will explore shrinkflation and its impact on the products we love. Building on our starter slides discussion, where we introduced the concept of shrinkflation, students will analyze price changes and product sizes over the years to understand how these changes affect our wallets. Using unit rates and percentage changes, students will investigate whether prices are truly increasing faster than what we might expect from regular inflation.

⏰ About 45 to 60 minutes to complete, including the starter activity.
