- i figured out what functions to use just mainly by trial and error. once I had a proper understanding of the shapes of each function, and how it would fit on each line it became much easier to copy the image.
- Yes, I had quite a few challenges throughout making the images. The main one being the shading and colouring. In the beginning I didn’t understand why the equations based around the x wouldn’t work with the ones based around the y. I eventually figured it out and found an alternative way to do it which was by setting values instead of connecting directly to other functions.
- I would say I had a moment where it all clicked in while doing the outlines of the drawing, also another one while getting about halfway through the colouring.
- I got help from asking the Pahlevanlu during class about certain parts of the project I was unsure about.
- I didn’t really use any strategies, except for doing things in an order. I started with the outline, then the bulb outline, then I did the spots, then the shading lines, and then I coloured it all in at the end.
- This assignment helped me understand functions, transformations, and translations much more just through doing them over and over.
| Mark | EDUBLOG POST: Process (5 marks) | Score |
| 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. | 5 |
| 0 | I did not complete the Edublog post. | |
| Folders (5 marks) | ||
| 5 | My folders are labelled with parts/objects/letters, and I correctly identified EVERY type of function and relation used. | 5 |
| 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. | |

| 10 | My drawing resembles the photo I chose | |
| 5 | My drawing is starting to look like the photo chosen | 10 |
| 1 | My drawing is missing or incomplete | |
| Aesthetics (10 marks) | ||
| 10 | Color and shading were used to strategically replicate the picture. | 10 |
| 5 | A little shading was used. | |
| 1 | No thought was put into the use of color or shading | |
| Functions & Relations (10 marks) | ||
| 10 | I used all 10 types of functions/Relations required. Absolute Value, Polynomial, Rational, Radical, Trigonometric, Exponential and Logarithmic, Sideways Parabolas, Semicircles, Ellipses. | 10 |
| x | I used only x of the required types | |
| Function notation (30 marks) | ||
| 30 | I made excellent use of function notation to transform the same function repeatedly | 30 |
| 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) | ||
| 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. | 30 |
| 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. | |
