Algebra > Graphing

• Easy version of Graph Mole - If you are teaching students about how to plot points on an xy coordinate plane, this is a good place to start. First, have students do the "Introduction". The "Introduction" is an interactive story/tutorial that explains how coordinates work and why they are useful. Second, have the students play the easy version of Graph Mole. It's a fun non-timed game in which students choose which coordinates correspond to mole on the graph to stop him from eating all the vegetables.

• Medium version of Graph Mole - If you are reviewing how to plot points on the coordinate plane, this is a good place to start. It's a fun slower paced game in which students have to choose which coordinates correspond to the mole on the graph before he eats all the vegetables.

• Hard version of Graph Mole - When students have mastered the easy and medium versions of Graph Mole, have them play this game. It's a fun fast paced game in which students have to choose which coordinates correspond to the mole on the graph before he eats all the vegetables. This is the "arcade style" version of the game with new randomly generated questions each time.

• Line Gem 1 - If you are teaching students how to graph lines for the first time, use this game that teaches them how to find ordered pairs to draw the line. First, have students do the "Introduction". The "Introduction" is an interactive story/tutorial that explains how to find ordered pairs so you can draw lines. Second, have the students play the Line Gem 1 game. It's a fun non-timed game in which students choose the linear equation flight paths to get as many gems as possible.
