New Interactive Module: Production Possibilities Frontier

Introduce the production possibilities frontier to your students with this new module that weaves together the concepts of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost. Through the story of Econ Isle and Econ Land, two countries that produce gadgets and widgets, the interactive module conveys the trade-offs each nation makes when choosing how much of each item to produce. Students will also learn how to identify changes that could lead to economic expansion and interpret a production possibilities graph.

This resource is designed for high school students to complete in approximately 30 minutes and comes with a self-grading multiple-choice assessment that can be easily added to major learning management systems including Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, Blackboard, and D2L Brightspace.
