Who Doesn’t Love a good Graphic Organizer?

Who Doesn’t Love a good Graphic Organizer?

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.

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

Writing Linear EquationsStudents 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).

Thumbnail2Representing 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.
