Finding New Ways to Discover Algebra

KWHS Algebra 1 students are finding new and creative ways to evaluate mathematical functions.   Using a software program called GeoGebra, students can easily graph different types of functions including linear, quadratic, exponential and other polynomial functions. In this particular activity, students entered a variety of linear equations in order to evaluate x and y intercepts.  They also analyzed slope changes, including comparing key parameters for parallel and perpendicular lines. GeoGebra is a free on-line software program that can be downloaded to your own personal computer (both PC and MAC).  Check out the websites below for more details:
