Economics

New immersive real-life scenarios engage students and put them in the role of everyday economists. Students practice their economic thinking and problem- solving skills as they apply course concepts and see the implications of their decisions as they go. The tool also provides specific feedback based upon student responses for support when it matters most. Each activity is designed as a 15-minute experience, unless students eagerly replay for a better outcome.

At McGraw Hill, graphing isn’t just a skill, it’s a scaffolded journey through Bloom’s Taxonomy. Our 3-tiered approach builds comprehension, confidence and critical thinking. Built with accessibility at its core, so all students can engage meaningfully.

Students start strong with truly adaptive modules that level-set graphing, math and econ vocabulary.

Students apply what they’ve learned using real graphing tools that encourage active engagement and problem solving.

Are your students struggling to understand the how and why of what they’re doing?
