My reflection on GraphCalc as a Situating tool
Mathematics has been a difficult subject for me when I was in a lower grade and it was considered a difficult subject even nowadays. Majority of the students face difficulties when they plot the graph and it was also my major problem. It was made easier in this digital world to teach about the graph using the application called GraphCalc.
I have learned that using this application called GraphCalc, we can plot different types of graph-like linear equation, quadratic equation and cubic equation. For me, I found it difficult to plot the linear equation since I could only get correct the direction of the line and the point of intersection in Y-axis. I could not locate the point of intersection in X-axis when I have done the activity on my own. however, the concept was made a crystal clear when I have punched the data in the GraphCalc and within no time it could do draw the line.
Using GraphCalc, I can teach the quadratic and the cubic equations. It will not only help students understand the topic but also they will enjoy the lesson.
Example of the quadratic graph.
Example of the cubic graph.
In future, I can use this application with my student and the practice that I have done in the college can be my preparation in the future. I can use this application to teach my students about the graph in the easiest and the simplest ways.

It is one of the effective and easiest way to teach primary students.Thankyou for sharing your experiences and informations.
ReplyDeleteYes rinzin, graphcalc really helps student to observe the link between equation and graph.
ReplyDeleteGood reflection on iCT as situating tools. Your reflection graphcalc really impressed me. Using this helps in understand the equation better.
ReplyDeleteAs you have stated, GraphCalc has made graphing much easier and faster
ReplyDeleteAfter going through your personal experiences and opinions about GraphCalc. It is sure that students will love mathematics more.
ReplyDeleteIs a very effective way to teach students and more over with this GraphCalc I am sure students will love mathematics.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading through your experiences and opinion on GraphCalc. I have learned how to use GraphCalc in Mathematic subject and also it has helped me to make my work easy where I don't need to write graph on the books.
ReplyDeleteYou have reflected the content well and given relevant examples based on yourself. Yes situating tool makes learning realistic and easy to understand by the students.
