Original Description

In this lesson, students learn about the difference between a set tax rate and a progressive tax rate that changes based on income.

The lessons writers created a spreadsheet with all of the calculations and an example graph. Basically, what we want to do is recreate that spreadsheet on the web with only one or two of the fields being actually adjustable and the graph changing in response to the variables being adjusted.
