Which equations did you use for each body part? How did you move them around and change their shape?
Did you have any challenges? Any aha moments?
During the process, there was a lot of trial and error but in the end, I got the equation I wanted for my portrait. One of my challenges was flipping one point to another quadrant was my biggest one. I found out in the midst of my project that you needed to change the positives and negatives in the equation, but I wasn’t entirely sure which ones. The “aha” moments are when I finally learned how to flip the equation to the other quadrant.
Did you get help? Did you use any strategies?
I would ask classmates and the peer tutor for help and when that didn’t help I asked the teacher when I had the most difficulty. When we first started was the hardest because I wasn’t familiar with the equations then I got used to doing it. My strategies were to see what I did in one of my original such as the eyes equation then made some tweaks to make the eye move to the other quadrant.
What did this assignment help you understand about functions, relations, and their graphs?
This assignment helped me understand how one slightest move can change the whole equation and that meant it had to be precise. The task even taught me ways to use to my benefit the relations and functions so that I could build an art piece at the end.
