About

Graphing Projects

Read full description

Graphing Projects introduces students to the essential concepts of coordinate geometry. While using the app, students will locate points on a four quadrant grid and draw lines between two points to make specific figures. Designs and geometric figures are randomly generated so the activities are different every time. The app explains how a Cartesian grid is defined and how to locate points using an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate. The app presents a series of instructions for creating geometric figures on the grid. When the student is finished with the diagram, the solution is shown and the students work evaluated. A scoreboard shows the student's progress. Speech is used in the app to give instructions. Sound effects make using the app fun for students.
