Strutting Your Mathematical Stuff: Graphics Design on the TI-83/84 Plus

The Essentials Open to all Senior High Mathematics students Involves use of the TI83/84 Plus calculators You must create a graphic design using mathematical equations This project is meant to be done individually rather than in pairs or groups. NCSD Graphics Design Competition /1/2010

Requirements Keep a learning journal – Date – What you did description of what you were trying to do the equations it took to do it – Sketch of your progress – (Lots of info on completing a journal, including a sample, is included in the Learning Journal Handout) NCSD Graphics Design Competition /1/2010
