What does this worksheet teach?

Sort ten situations by the curve that shifts, the shifter and the direction, from income to taxes. The directions on the page read: Read the boxes and study the graphs. Use them to complete the table on page 2. An answer key is included.
Can I use this supply and demand worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade Economics and Money, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What is equilibrium?
⌄
Equilibrium is the price where the quantity buyers want equals the quantity sellers offer.
What is a price ceiling?
⌄
A price ceiling is a legal maximum. When it is below equilibrium, buyers want more than sellers offer, so there is a shortage.
What can shift demand?
⌄
The sheet lists five demand shifters: income, tastes, related goods, expectations and the number of buyers.
