In these activities you will complete challenges to help discover and learn a variety of functions. After each chapter you will use your newly found skills to produce a picture entirely made up of mathematical functions. Your teacher may choose to do only one chapter or all four. At the end of each section there will be a link to share your creation!
There are three ways to access the challenges.
From an iTunesU Course for iPad
The iTunesU course links both the book challenges and the Desmos Activity Builder challenges giving the teacher the choice.
