Domain and Range Graphic Organizer

I want to share a domain and range graphic organizer I created for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks.

I used the same DIXROY mnemonic device with my Algebra 1 students that I introduced to my Algebra 2 students.  I don’t really know how many students even use this to help them remember the meaning of domain and range.  

DIX: Domain, Inputs, X-Coordinates.
ROY: Range, Outputs, Y-Coordinates.

I did see a student write the acronym on their index card to use on their semester test, so I guess at least one student has found it helpful.

The idea for this half-sheet graphic organizer was stolen, ahem, borrowed from Mrs. Hester.  She posted a picture of this organizer from her 8th grade interactive notebook, and I fell in love.  So, I typed up one at the last minute.  I uploaded the template for you below.  Everything isn’t perfectly aligned and centered, but it was the best I could do with the limited time I had.  If I wasn’t such a procrastinator, my notebooks would be better.
