Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

This month's Mash of the Month is 2Graph, Purple Mash's graph and chart tool. 2Graph gives children the opportunity to easily create a range of graphs. Different graph types can be entered in a table and up to four types can be shown simultaneously on the screen. It's packed full of new functionality that lets children visualise and present data in a variety of colourful and exciting ways.
