Arrow Diagrams: A Graphical Organizer to Explain the Notation for Transformations of Functions.

At the NWMC in Yakima I attended a session about a tool to explain why Y = 2•F(x) means dilation vertically by a factor of 2 and Y = F(2•X) means compression horizontally. The tool helps explain dilations, translations and reflections in a consistent way.

Gamify (and Mathify) Your Classroom Management

Experience created games involving ‘radian measure’ and ‘types of polynomials’ which Carla uses to reward classes for completing homework.
