Mr Turner has been using the app 'Desmos' as an alternative to autograph which can only be used on the desktop computers. This app allows students to plot graphs and discover how graphs are transformed. For example to transform y=x^2 into y=(x+a)^2 +b is a translation
[-a
b]
Here are some of the students evaluations of the app.
I have used the Desmos App too this week, and students have found it really useful to check their work and plot graphs quickly in order to investigate gradient and intercept. I would like to find out more about how to do the transformations on it.
