What's Going on At Teach-nology.com Graph With Us Two months ago we received an email from Betty Raines a teacher from Spokane, WA. She was frustrated with graphing resources available on-line. She liked our graphing worksheets, but here students completely lost the skill when they worked independently. So she challenged us. Teach-nology accepted the challenge. We created a graphing teacher resource guide for every one. We also included graphing lesson plans to give you some ideas. Thanks for the challenge Betty! We're here to help.
