Assistive Technology Math

Grade Level: 9-12


Subject Area: Graphing
Activity: The students will be given functions to graph and use Desmos to graph
them. The goal is to give them practice with quadratic, cubic, and exponential
functions.
Assistive Technology: Desmos
How it Works: This app uses a powerful and blazingly-fast math engine, the
calculator can instantly plot any equation, from lines and parabolas up through
derivatives. It offers data tables and even uploads images.
Link: https://www.desmos.com/
Cost: The app and website for Desmos is completely free.
Why: I chose this technology because I have used it and am still using it and it has
helped tremendously. It provides clear graphs and even allows you to set how big
or small you want the graphing scale to be. Also, you learn how each of the
functions work when you graph them rather than just graphing them by hand or on
a small graphing calculator.
