Functions+and+Graphs

Please remember to give yourself credit for your resource. Thank you for noting the week.
==Here is a website that offers a bunch of fun interactive games/activities focusing on functions and graphing. []==

This geometry review page will help master the concepts you learn in geometry class. Ideas will be reviewed with the assistance of graphics and sound to help you learn these important geometry ideas. Even the titles contain clues as to the attributes of the geometric shape. After many of the pages are quizzes to help reinforce the ideas learned. Simply click on the topic you need to review in the index and you are on your way. Some of the topics include: Space figures, polygons, symmetry, volume, area and perimeter to name a few! []

Rachel Hoffman Week 5 This tool allows students to create graphs with 4 vertices. It allows students to explore the concepts of edges and vertex of a figure. This should be use with older grades because of the difficulty of the topic. [] ~Meghan Torbik (Week 4)

This will help students touch up their skills with functions and graphs: [] Brion Stone (w5)

This website is great because it allows students to graphs using their unique data. There are various types of graphs to choose from and can used to close out a lesson by allowing students to practice making their own graph. [] -Melissa Morales

This website has a lot of interactive topics on graphs for students from how to interpret graphs to more complex topics about graphing. It also has teacher sites that include many different ideas for teaching graphs to students. It also includes the state standards that go along with the lessons (unfortunately, not PA) [] -Charlene Daugherty

This website offers free tutorials to explore, interactively, graphs of functions, equations, and algebra at precalculus level. [] Jennifer Combellack

[] At this site students can engage in several games, quizzes and skill building for math, probability, and graphing. They can also learn many interesting facts about education. The site allows you to create all different kinds of graphs with your data. Jen Ferro

THis is a web site that I use a lot for worksheets or to allow the students that finish ntheir work first to go on for enrichment. [] Carrie Paulin

This webstie allows students to review the parts of a coordinate grid. There is a place where students can get help if they do not understand the concept and then are able to plot points or guess the ordered pairs of points already plotted for them. [] Amy Kunec

I use Cool Math with my students all of the time. Here is a graphing applet in case you don't have a graphing calculator available! [] Jennifer (Butts) Susko- W3

This is a favorite website of mine "quia," this specific page is great with reviewing slope. Students have the choice of doing flashcards, matching, concentration and even a word search game. http://www.quia.com/jg/499415.html Nancy Chafin W3

Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Other times, a graph or chart helps impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually. Here you will find four different graphs and charts for you to consider. Maybe it will help explain what you are trying to show. Use homework problems, things you have a special interest in, or use some of the numbers you find elsewhere on this site. Have fun! [] ~ DANA COOPER

This is an interactive site which allows you to work on linear functions and slope. [] Tracy Toole

**Website URL**: http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/BillyBug2/bug2.html **Summary of Site Content:** This is an interactive game that helps students learn about coordinate planes. Billy Bug is on a quest to find his grub to eat for dinner, but he needs help to find it. Students are given the opportunity to play a fun game and learn at the same time. This is a great tool to use with students after discussing coordinate planes. Billy Bug is located at a certain distance on the coordinate plane, and students are given the coordinates where his food is located. Students need to guide Billy to the right location and feed him before the time is up! (Grade 4-5) Mallory Zoeller

[] This site can be used to learn as well as teach positive linear functions. The site allows for learners to read what PLF are as well as an activity and help section to use as resources in the learning progress. Teachers can also see what the objectives are or what they can use this site for as well as other resources. Jennifer Daniels TY RM W3

[] I use this site a lot with my students. Enables a lot of review of skills up to 8th grade. State standards can also be searched and selected for each grade level. Jason Papadoplos

This interactive lesson provides students with a short lesson to explain how to solve problems with missing information. After the lesson, there are several problems presented to students that can provide meaningful context to real-world situations where students may need to solve for problems that may not contain all the information. The functions used can be presented to early elementary students in order to prepare them for more complex functions later. [] Shanon Sitoski

I found this rap song very catching and easy to remember. [] Jessica Zmijewski

[] This is a great website because it has different websites to choose from to help you with graphs and tables. Lindsay Craig


 * Free tutorials using java applets to explore, interactively, important topics in precalculus such as quadratic, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, polynomial, absolute value functions and their graphs. Equations of lines, circles, ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas are also explored interactively. Graph shifting, scaling and reflection are also included. The definition and properties of inverse functions are thoroughly investigated. A graphical approach to 2 by 2 systems of equations is included. ||

[] Allows students to create graphs. Also, under the Dare to Compare section, students can see how they compare to other students. This only works for grades 4, 8, and 12 though. Sharon Majesky

and x&y charts. Students are able to practice inputting data into a chart, creating labels, and constructing the graphs. Words well for students to complete on the computer by themselves, or by the teacher during guided instruction. Good recommendation Sharon! -Karen Hertzog
 * I too want to recommend this website to any teacher that teaches the ideas of constructing graphs. This website allows you to create pie, line, area, bar,

This website provides practice graphing lines. [] Lisa Kelly

Functions- 1. a rule assigned to each element X in a set of A, a unique element Y in set B. f(x)=x cubed 2. can be written as a set of ordered pairs (x, f(x)), where x varies over a - no two ordered pairs have the same first component { (1,1), (2, 8), (3, 27), (4, 64)} 3. if A and B are real numbers then each pair (x, f(x)) gives the coordinates of a point. if we can show all such points for a function we can get the graph of the function- we can then identify the function with it's graph. **Kelly Klecha week 4**

 * This is a you-tube video that instructs the learner on how to create graphs in excel. It starts with entering the data through choosing and finalizing the graph. This is a useful skill because Excel is used in some workplaces. This will expose students as well as giving them a useful skill to take beyond high school.**
 * Megan O'Rourke**
 * Great place to make graphs by inserting your data. Able to make any type of graph that you want to.**

This interactive pan balance allows numeric or algebraic expressions to be entered and compared. You can "weigh" the expressions you want to compare by entering them on either side of the balance. Using this interactive tool, you can practice arithmetic and algebraic skills, and investigate the important concept of equivalence. I found this tool on the SAS website under materials and resources. It allows students to graph x and y coordinates on a graph. [] Katherine Edwards W5
