=50 Ideas for using Grapher, Geometer's Sketchpad, and more.= 1) Students can use grapher software to explore the relationships between rational functions and their domains and zeros.

2) Students can use grapher software to compare the solutions to polynomial equations and the intercepts of their related functions.

3) Students can use GSP to examine how the equation is related to the graph of a linear or quadratic equation. (the connection between the y-intercept/slope and the equation for linear equations; the effects of changing the various parameters of a quadratic equation upon the graph)

4) Students can use grapher to compare equations of a parabola with its' graph.

5) Students can find pictures of nature and architecture on the web. They can then copy these photos into GSP and find angles, polygons. and any other vocabulary word you feel is appropriate.
