The Econ Sandbox
The Econ Sandbox lets you explore economic concepts and models by changing them yourself. Adjust different economic factors andassumptions, see how the graphs change, and use the story and math to understand why. Then practice applying what you have learned with problems designed to help you work through each topic.
How The Econ Sandbox Works
Explore the model, and then practice what you have learned.
Explore
Adjust different parts of each model and wathc as the graphs, story, and equations update in real time.
- ✓ Real-time Easily change model inputs and values with interactive controls
- ✓ Quickly toggle between economic explanations and the underlying mathematics
Practice
Work through a varietyof problems for each topic. If you get stuck, the practice page will beak the problem down into smaller steps so you can keep working. Once you finish one, just press the new problem button to try more.
- ✓Practice visual, conceptualm, and mathematical problems
- ✓Get step-by-step help after an incorrect attempt
