Your assignment is to make an AWESOME art project with DESMOS.com using all of the functions we have learned throughout the year(s). You will have to practice transforming your functions and learn how to restrict your domains and ranges to make the graph just right.
I'm sure that few people would use Desmos to design their next laser project, but what powerful tangible evidence of proficiency a laser cut piece created with this approach would provide.
She and I are talking about how we can do a blog post to share her experience more broadly.
I'd love to hear some of the ideas you collect.

Algebra with 3d printing and design. http://blockscad.com and http://beetleblocks.com/ are two of my go to for this.

HI NiazIn my work I am blessed with the opportunity of having some great discussions with some amazing teachers. Recently one of my math teacher friends who is quite proficient with laser cutters shared how she used Desmos to add maker centered learning approaches to math (specifically Algebra)Here is one of many examples of her student work that she shared with me.and her initial prompt to students.Your assignment is to make an AWESOME art project with DESMOS.com using all of the functions we have learned throughout the year(s).

I am also enrolled in a Maker fellowship program this year through UTeach at UT Austin.I am new to Making, and this is also my first year teaching High School Math. I intend to use Making as hands on activity for teaching Algebra and Precalculus in school. I can think of Geometry as more readily lending itself to Making, but find it challenging to link Making to algebraic concepts. If any of you have any ideas or things you have along these lines, I would appreciate if you could share it with me.Thanks,Niaz--
