  • Graphing isa very important concept when it comes to middle and high school mathematics. Students need to fully understand the basics of this, in order to move on to other material. Graphing is also in many higher level math classes, so it is critical for students to understand this concept completely. • It makes sense to incorporate technology into this topic, because visuals are the key to understanding graphing • There are many sites that can help teach graphing in a different way, and help students graph points on a computer which can provide a different perspective to the assignment than doing it on paper themselves.
