Economics

At McGraw Hill, graphing is a scaffolded journey through Bloom’s Taxonomy. Our 3-tiered approach builds comprehension, confidence and critical thinking, helping students engage meaningfully. 

Are your students able to complete graphing homework, but still struggle to understand the how and why of what they’re doing? Our interactive graphs help students visualize and interpret economic concepts, graphs, and data by providing visual displays for them to manipulate. 

 All graphs are accompanied by assignable assessment questions and feedback to guide students through the experience of learning to read and interpret graphs and data. 

Graphing tools within Connect provide opportunities for students to draw, interact with, manipulate, and analyze graphs in their online auto-graded assignments. The Connect graphing tool is easy to use, and helps students apply and practice important economic ideas

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.

Students visualize data, test scenarios and build deeper insight; no memorization required. Selective Interactive Graphs include FRED data.
