She will be doing a couple of professional development sessions at the ...

If you are a math teacher and use a Mac then you need to try the "Grapher" utility that comes hidden away in the utilities folder. It is a great way to make both 2D and 3D graphs in rectangular and polar coordinates. Students love it because they ...
