Found this online graphing calculator the other day. Easiest one to use that I've found online.

Sooo....to further our discussion on algebraic representations, I graphed the equations of the problems we did in class and students will have to read the graph (algebraic model) to answer some comparison/contrast questions to help us introduce slope. (Items in red are tested indicators). After groups discuss these questions, we'll have a whole class conversation to tie it all together using the Smartboard.
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
