A free pilot semester for your AP Econ classroom, set up in minutes

How it works

1. 1

   Create your free account

   Sign up with your school email and name your school. That starts your free pilot semester on the spot; there is no procurement, no purchase order, and nothing to install.

2. 2

   Make a classroom, share the join code

   Your classroom gets a short join code. Students enter it once. Everything on the site stays free for them with or without the code, so nobody is locked out of studying.

3. 3

   Assign, and watch the graphs do the work

   Assign lessons or question sets with due dates, see scores as they come in, and export grades to CSV for your gradebook. The interactive graphs carry the concept load.

What your classroom includes

18 interactive graph sandboxes

Students drag supply and demand, AD-AS, the money market, and every other CED graph, and watch equilibrium respond live.

566 practice questions

AP-style multiple choice across all 24 modules, auto-graded, every answer explained.

A review page for every CED topic code

78 pages that map one-to-one onto the College Board course descriptions, plus a 624-term glossary.

Assignments with due dates

Assign lessons or quizzes to your classroom and track completion without collecting any student PII.

Lockdown exams

Timed exams with tab-switch detection when you need an assessment you can trust.

CSV grade export

One click, formatted for your gradebook or SIS.

Your first week of AP Econ, already planned

Every link below is free and printable, no account needed. Micro shown; each plan has a macro twin, and both courses have a week-by-week pacing guide.

1. Day 1
   Scarcity and choice, taught by dragging a PPC

   Open the basic concepts lesson plan; students bend the production possibilities curve themselves in the sandbox.

2. Day 2-3
   Supply and demand, the graph that runs the course

   The supply and demand lesson plan pairs direct instruction with the drag-the-curve sandbox and shock presets.

3. Day 4
   First practice, zero grading

   Assign the basic concepts question set: auto-graded, every answer explained, scores in your dashboard.

4. Day 5
   Diagnose where they actually are

   Students take the score predictor as a low-stakes baseline you can revisit at the semester's end.

Or just embed a graph on your class page

Every interactive graph embeds anywhere with one iframe tag. Free, no branding demands, works in Google Sites, Canvas, and Schoology. Here is supply and demand:

<iframe
  src="https://www.econlearn.org/embed/graph/supply-demand"
  width="100%" height="520" style="border:0"
  title="Interactive supply and demand graph"
></iframe>

Swap supply-demand for any graph on the sandbox page.

The honest fine print

What does the free pilot actually mean?

Full classroom features, free for one semester, so you can judge it with a real class before anyone talks about money. After the pilot, plans are $15 per student per year, or $10 per student per year at 100 or more students. Every study feature on the site stays free for all students regardless.

Do my students need accounts?

No. The graph sandboxes, practice questions, flashcards, glossary, FRQ practice, lesson plans and all 24 module write-ups work with no login, in full. An account is free and only exists to save progress, and students only need to join your classroom if you want their scores in your dashboard.

What about student privacy?

EconLearn is FERPA-conscious by design: no ads, no selling data, and student accounts need nothing beyond a name and email. Sign-in is Google or email and password; Clever and ClassLink SSO are partially built and are not available, so do not plan a rollout around them. Ask us and we will tell you honestly where they stand.

Who built this?

Jude Wallis, a high school student in Manhattan Beach, California. Teachers at Mira Costa High School run their AP Economics classes on it. If something is broken or confusing, email hello@econlearn.org and a human who wrote the code answers.
