Teaching Resources
This section houses curricula that make use of the graphing tool. Feel free to download any that you would like to incorporate in your classroom activities.
If you would like to share your own material and the way you incorporate the graphing tool into it, we'll gladly upload it here.
To do so, email us a short course description including a title, credits, and target audience. Most importantly, remember to attach all the required files!
