Geometry,Staples Notebook graph paper, and a straight edge or ruler

Often a student will draw the problem on their notebook paper when they really need graph paper.  Without the graph paper there is more room for error.  Graph paper is not expensive, comes in a spiral bound notebook and helps a struggling student.  Graph paper allows the student to make neat efficient examples of the problem they are solving.  Tonight we were working with a student and when the student saw the problem on graph paper, the student was able to understand the problem solution. Using Graph paper instead of a makeshift graph gives a realisticvisual presentation of the problem.  Please make sure your child or student has the proper materials to do their work.  This includes a straight edge or ruler and graph paper.
