Graphing Without a Calculator [A]

In this era of readily accessible graphing utilities, I find myself wondering if students even know how to graph a function without technology. In fact, graphing calculators have been around long enough that I wonder how much teachers even know about drawing graphs of functions and equations. In this presentation I will look at a range of graphing techniques from beginner to advanced. We will end by discussing how the ability to draw graphs leads to the more applicable skill of mathematical modeling.
