Desmos Art Functions Card 2023   

 

• 1. I how you figured out what equations to use? Figured out which equations to use by first making a list of all the required ones. I’ve been role of the parent function and turned them on and off over the picture until I saw parts of the image that lines up well and decided to use that function for that portion.
• 2.  Did you have any challenges? I didn’t have any specific challenges to overcome, however the whole project was a bit challenging for me. I took some time to figure out, however once you get used to it it’s not difficult, it just takes a long time.
• 3. Any aha moments? My greatest aha moment was with the sliders. For a large majority of the project I was just typing in numbers and changing them slightly until the lines of what I wanted, it wasn’t until a good portion of the way in that I realized if I put variables in for all those places it would give me the option to make the sliders and line up my lines much more quickly. 
• 4. Did you get help? I had to ask some friends and classmates for help a couple of times!
• 5. Did you use any strategies? Using the sliders with my greatest strategy when completing this assignment
• 6. How did this assignment help you understand more about transformations of functions and relations? This assignment helped me in getting much more familiar with making and transforming functions and relations. I understood them before, however getting so much practice and definitely gave me a stronger understanding and more familiarity.

Mark	EDUBLOG POST: Process (5 marks)	Score  3.5
5	I clearly described my process, strategies and how I resolved any difficulties I encountered. I correctly Tagged and Categorized my post. I inserted a picture of my desmos post card and the original picture.
1	My explanation lacks detail and/or I have not described my problem-solving process. The link, desmos picture and/or original picture are missing.
0	I did not complete the Edublog post.
	Folders (5 marks)	4
5	My folders are labelled with parts/objects/letters, and I correctly identified EVERY type of function and relation used.
2	My folders are labelled with body parts and types of functions used. Some functions are not identified or incorrectly identified.
0	I did not use folders.
	Image (10 marks)	10
10	My drawing resembles the photo I chose
5	My drawing is starting to look like the photo chosen
1	My drawing is missing or incomplete
	Aesthetics (10 marks)	8
10	Color and shading were used to strategically replicate the picture.
5	A little shading was used.
1	No thought was put into the use of color or shading
	Functions & Relations (10 marks)	10
10	I used all 10 types of functions/Relations required. Absolute Value, Polynomial, Rational, Radical, Trigonometric, Exponential and Logarithmic, Sideways Parabolas, Semicircles, Ellipses.
x	I used only x of the required types
	Function notation (30 marks)	28
30	I made excellent use of function notation to transform the same function repeatedly
10	I used function notation a few times to transform the same function repeatedly.
0	I wrote new equations every single time and did not use function notation.
	Creativity and Complexity of Functions & Relations (30 marks)	25
30	My equations show complexity and creativity. I used multiple transformations. (Stretches, Reflections, Translations, Inverses). I made excellent use of domain and/or range restrictions. I combined functions from different units.
15	I used mostly the same type of functions, with some transformations. My functions sometimes overlap because I could not figure out the correct domain and/or range.
10	My equations lack complexity and creativity.
	Total mark:  (100)	88.5
