I know I do! Whenever I’m feeling like I am covering lots of material with my students and see them struggle to see the connections, I know a graphic organizer will help them immensely. I use graphic organizers in almost every unit. I mainly use a chart or web design, and occasionally have students design them. They always help create that deeper understanding that we strive for. I noticed that a large number of freebies in my TeachersPayTeachers store are graphic organizers, so I thought this would be a great place to share them, and hopefully spark some new ideas! Once again, they are all FREE 🙂

Translating Expressions & Inequalities: This one comes as a colored poster, or a black and white version where students can enter their own key words.

Factoring Polynomials: Students organize types of factoring polynomials; including greatest common factor, difference of squares, trinomials where a = 1, trinomials where a > 1, and four terms.

Exponent Rules: Students organize the exponent rules (product, power, quotient, negative exponent) via a chart.

Writing Linear Equations: Students organize ways to go about writing a linear equations depending on the information given (a slope and y-intercept, a graph, a point and slope, and two points).

Representing Relations: This was a favorite of mine! This graphic organizer helps students sort different ways relations are represented, and reviews determining if they are a function.

Methods to Solving Systems of Equations: This is more of a poster, but it helps students sort through the various ways to solve a system of equations (graphing, substitution, elimination).

Angle Relationships: Students sort through the various angle relationships (vertical angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, adjacent angles, a linear pair).

Centers of Triangles: This is another favorite of mine! This graphic organizer helps students sort through the centers of triangles (circumcenter, incenter, centroid, and orthocenter), along with the special segments that are created.
