This is a fantastic tool for showing students dynamic relationships with tables, equations and graphs. Love the ability to save graphs and export them as images for use in other applications!

My Take
The website is great because it allows you to save and export work, assuming you create a sign in. The app is good for quick graphing and exploration, but doesn't have the save and export capability. Overall, it is a very intuitive tool, that is easy to use for beginners, while being rich enough in features to allow for more advanced uses.
How I Use It
I use this in a variety of ways. In whole class lessons, I may create a graph with dynamic capabilities to help illustrate a key concept. Other times, I create a dynamic graph that allows students to explore relationships and make conjectures. During individual work, many students use this as a supporting resource as well.

Highly customizable and quick to use
Since this teaching tool is completely online, it's very accessible to students and all setup required is just going to the website. Rather than downloading a calculator so that I can display visuals of certain equations, I can put them up with ease. The tool is fast and streamlined but does take a bit of getting use to, to utilize it at its full potential. However, its still a great tool and worth it to learn as an educator, and to teach to students.

Great visual to teach math concepts
I believe that this tool makes it easier to show a visual perspective for mathematical concepts and how different types of equations look on the graph. I liked that it is an easy software to learn and utilize. It is also accessible for anyone to use and does not cost extra money, so students can use it as support when learning and completing classwork.
