Drawn the way your students have to draw them

Black lines on a plain background, as in the exam. No grid lines, no sliders, no extra numbers: just the relationships the diagram shows.

Features

Six features that make teaching easier

Everything you need at the front of the class, from your exam board's order to drawing the diagram live.

Ready for your exam board

Choose your specification and CueCurve lists its diagrams in its order, under its own headings, using its terms: Edexcel A and B, AQA, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge International and Edexcel International.

Every diagram is checked against each board's specification, mark schemes and examiner reports. How CueCurve checks its diagrams.

CueCurve's exam board choice set to Edexcel A 9EC0, ringed: the diagram list below follows the specification's own themes and order

Accessibility settings for clearer classroom presentation

Adjust the background tint, label size and curve colours to make diagrams easier to see. CueCurve remembers your display choices.

  • Six background colours, for the diagram or the whole screen
  • Labels and lines from 80% up to 160%
  • Curve colours tested for colour blindness, or keep them black
  • Use it with a keyboard alone, zoomed in, or with less movement

We test CueCurve against WCAG 2.2 AA, the standard UK public-sector websites are expected to meet, and say openly what's still being fixed. Read our accessibility statement.

243 ready-made scenarios

Each diagram comes with the versions the exam asks for, such as a negative externality, a subsidy or a decrease in supply. Choose one and CueCurve shows it, or turn on Step by step to reveal it in stages, in the order you'd explain it. Search finds any of them by name.

Externalities on its starting point, a negative production externality: MSC sits above supply, the welfare loss is shaded and overproduction is marked
Starting point: a negative production externality

Present it full screen

One click fills the board. Move on with a clicker, draw on it with CueCurve's pen tool, or blank the screen while the class thinks.

Get your whole department started

Your subscription includes department training to get everyone started with CueCurve, made for your exam board. Learn, CueCurve's interactive guide, shows each teacher what teaching economics interactively can do for their classes, backed up by printed tasks for a short team meeting.

Watch it draw, the way you would at the board

Draw it builds a diagram line by line, in the order you'd draw it for the class. Here, AD rises as the economy nears full capacity, so real GDP and the price level both rise.

Founded by an economics teacher

I've taught economics and maths in UK state schools for 20 years, and spent hours making diagrams in PowerPoint so they looked right and matched the exam. I built CueCurve so that time goes on teaching instead.
