Microsoft+Math+tool

=//**Tech Tool investigation2**//=

Microsoft math is an educational program that will allow students to visualize 2D and 3D equations. It has a triangle solver to graph and understand the relationship between the different components of a triangle. It's a powerful tool to help students understand how to solve the sides and angles of triangles. It comes with tutorials and step by step explanations for making graphs. You can even customize the calculator colors! The downside is that it's not free, but for $20.00 I'd say it's a pretty good deal.

In my classroom, I would use it with the document camera during a lesson. Students would have a better visualization with the 3D graphs that can rotate. Graphing by hand is time consuming, this way, we can concentrate on the conceptual part of the graph, and establish relationships, or make predictions as to how the graph will change if we change a variable.
