Title: Graph my Functions

Subject: Mathematics

Introduction

One of the difficult competencies of students in Mathematics is graphing a

Functions. Traditional way of graphing a function is by using graphing paper or grid

paper. But when students are asked to graph using the traditional way most of the

students impression on graphing is Please enlighten me as to how graphing a function

helps. I can see a graph's utility with simple functions as they instantly give you value of

dependent variable. But ignoring them and considering three dimensional complex

figures that often arise in higher level math, how does it help you solve the problem if

you know that the graph is a knot or a doughnut or in 2D case say the 'U' shape of a

parabola. I admire the wonderful shapes but I don't know what to make of them except

having a visual treat. How do they help you solve a given problem? Is there an

alternative way to graphing functions such as y=x^2+2x and x^3+x^2-2x (just by

looking/observing the function), besides making the traditional x and y chart? I'm familiar

with graphing the traditional parabolas and functions just by looking at the problem, but

the extra degrees and x's completely threw me off and I'm not sure where to start.

Cell phones have become a necessity for many people and even for students

throughout the world. The ability to keep in touch with family, business associates, and

access to email are only a few of the reasons for the increasing importance of cell

phones. Today's technically advanced cell phones are capable of not only receiving and
placing phone calls, but storing data, taking pictures, and can even be used as walkie

talkies, to name just a few of the available options. Now cell phones can also be used in

the delivery of instruction as an instructional material in graphing.

Definition of Terms:

Graph - In mathematics graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical

structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph in this context is

made up of vertices, nodes, or points which are connected by edges, arcs, or lines.

Function - In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of

permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. An

example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x2

Android- is a smartphone operating system (OS) developed by Google. It is used by a

variety of mobile phone manufacturers including Motorola, HTC and Sony Ericsson. The

first phone to run on the Android OS was the HTC Dream which was launched on 22

October 2008.

Geogebra- The graphing calculator for Functions, Geometry, Algebra, Calculus,

Statistics And 3d Math!

SHAREit Applications- lets you transfer files from different devices like phones,

tablets, and computers. Using direct Wi-Fi connections, SHAREit can send files, photos,

videos, and apps from one device to another. When it works, it is awesome, but when it

doesn't, there's little reason to try again.

Procedure:

1. Ask the students to download or pass through share it application Geogebra in their

android cell phones.

2. Open the Geogebra and enter the function. To input a function you just type it into

the input line. Example: Type x^2 or f(x)=x^2 and you will get the function. Type y=x^2

you will get the parabola.
