I thought this app was really cool. They have different types of graphs that you can choose from (line, circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, absolute value, exponential, logarithmic, etc.). It graphs which ever one you choose. You can then see the equation of the graph. It then gives you options to change different things about the equation and you can see how those changes affect the graph. I loved how you could instantly see the changes based on what part of the equation you modified. I think if I would have had this when first learning to graph, it would have made things a lot easier to understand. In the screen shot above, I graphed a polynomial equation and you can see how the changes I made in the right window affected the polynomial. I could definitely see this app as being an extremely useful tool in the classroom!
