Functions+and+Graphs

Sara Stull- Week 3
[] This website is very user friendly. It has games from making change, geometry, and equivalent fractions. The game that I have selected for this wiki tab is locate aliens. Students need to identify the coordinates in order to capture the alien. I have seen this site and game in action in a classroom. The students seem to really enjoy it.

This website KIDS' Zone Learning with NCES has a link to functions and graphing. It has an area to select the type of graph desired: area graphs, bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts. It allows the student to input data into the table and get a visual graphic representation of the data. The students can change design, data, and labels; preview their work and then print and/or save it. It is a user friendly site with lots of information.

Jim Casey-Week 3 [] This site actually give a really nice lesson plan dealing with graphs and functions. It gives a list and definition of some key terms dealing with graphing. There are links available on this site that allow students to practice graphing. Finally, the site even gives ideas about how the lesson can be rearranged in different ways. This site is very easy to use.

Susan Walton-Week 3
[] This website offers everything from creating a graph to an online graphing calculator, graphs and charts, online math games, to rate of change in linear functions. Students will enjoy using the site since it is easy to navigate. It also allows has an online graphing genator that allows them to create their own graph.

==This is a great website to use with data analysis also. Students could use their information they need to represent, choose a type of graph they wish to use and plug in their information. The computer will then generate the graph. It is a neat resource for students to use to let them see the different ways they could represent their information.==

== We have this program installed on the computers at my school and it makes for graphing very easy. I have spoken with middle school and high school teachers who use it on a weekly basis for graphing functions. My friends teaches Honors Calculus and uses it all the time to show graphs. ==

== This is a great use of technology to help students put everything they learned together. Once the students learn how to solve the inequality, they can then plug in their points and see how it would look once graphed. Plotting inequalities can be a bit difficult because entire portions of the graph that you see must be included to make the plot correct. This site ensures students have the graph correct. ==

[]
== This is a great resource that allows students to explore the concept of graphing by reviewing pre-generated graphs as well as having the ability to collect data from classmates to input and generate their own graphs. Six different graphs are available and would be most beneficial to students in grades 1-3. I think students would really enjoy the interactivity of this site and could see this as being a great tool to use for review for the PSSA's. ==

Holly Meade Week 3 [] This is a great resource for Math teachers. It will provide you with blank graphs for your students to using throughout your graphing unit. For example they have various bar graph sheets for favorite ice cream, or graphs to count the eye color of the class. This site would be useful from 2nd-10th grade due to the many possibilites available to you. Really a great resource even if your students need blank graph paper, or numbered graph sheets. Overall awesome!

Mitchell Marcks-Week 2 http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/GraphSketcher/ This link contains an excellent interactive resource. Students can create graphs of functions by entering formulas. This activity is very similar to a graphing calculator. Java is needed in order to run the interactive activity.

Elise Clifford- Week 2 []. On this website students are able to play games. It reviews how to mark a graph and how to analyze graphs. It is most appropriate for upper elementary.

Maura Schofield - Week 3 [] This is an excellent website with many different graphing activities and explanations. Students of all ages would benefit by using this site.

Week 4- Loni Morgan http://nces.ed/gov/nceskids/createagraph/ This is an excellent site for teaching and learning all about the different types of graphs and how to use them. You can input data adn chosses a graph and it will create it for you.

Carol Lavelle - Week 5 I found a great site at http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/rotations-math-2.html that includes math information for grade levels K-12 that helps teachers practice the topics required for the Regents Exam conducted by NYSED. The following information helps me remember how to rotate figures about the origin. There are also instructional videos, games, links, and many other topics and resources. A positive angle of rotation turns the figure counterclockwise, and a negative angle of rotation turns the figure in a clockwise direction.


 * Rotation of 90 degrees || R(x, y) = (–y, x) ||
 * Rotation of 180 degrees (same as point reflection in the origin) || R(x, y) = (–x, –y) ||
 * Rotation of 270 degrees (same as rotation of –90 degrees) || R(x, y) = (y, –x) ||

Laura Bohlig - week 5 [] This site has several links to interactive lessons working with functions and graphs. You can search the lessons by grade level and/or standards Each lesson not only includes and interactive activity but learning objectives, extention activities, and worksheets.
