This paper discusses the practice and application of case study during the micro-economics teaching process. After provoking five principles of choosing the cases, such as typical, realistic, targeted, freshness and continuous, this paper gives the examples as many as possible, such as a sample of that the main three relationships between d demand curve and D demand curve are similar to adults find for mates, to point out there are at least two ways to improve learning interest for students, one is that the teachers provoke the cases and the other is that teachers encourage students to search for cases actively and initiatively, which can assist students to understand and grasp the concepts and principles of economics, so as to achieve the desired teaching objectives.
