ICT as Situating Tools- Using GraphCalc to Plot the Coordinates Teaching and learning of mathematics concepts and skills is much more better with the integration of ICT. So, as a teacher, when we are teaching about the graph, we can use GraphCalc to have the students plot the intercepts. Students will have more fun to learn about the coordinates plotting through this apps. Also, they will be able to learn it better. If you want to know more about GraphCalc open the link here: https://www.graphcalc.com/about/ Learning Activity that we have done during this session are as follows; Case 1 Open 2D graphing calculator Type the equation y=2x+1 in the equation pane Keeping y-intercept (1) constant, change the co-efficient of x using both positive and negative numbers Write down what did you notice?
