Using Parent Graph Transformations and apply derivatives to Create Art

Broad Learning Goals: Students will be able to: (SWBAT…)

● Students will be able to use functions graph and their corresponding derivative

functions graph such as, linear, quadratic, absolute value, square root,

exponential and rational that will provide the basis for a graphic design for

fabrics.

● Students will be able to graph the original function, and corresponding derivative

functions graph defining the discontinuity, increasing and decreasing intervals,

critical points and points where the curve is not differentiable in association (with

Desmos) and create a design that is aesthetically pleasing for the purpose of a

coloring book, textile print or artwork also may be printed on a T-shirts.

• Put all data in a power point slide for which to be linked with [QR] code in order

to be printed on the coloring book, textile print or artwork also may be printed

on a T-shirts.

● Students will be able to create the original function and its corresponding

derivative function in the designs in addition to the QR code.

core practices and academic language goal.

Designing a coloring book page using Original Functions and

Derivative function

The Drawing:
You are going to create a design to be printed as part of a coloring book,
T-shirt, clothes,... The goal is to create something aesthetically pleasing
and fun to color (lots of shapes)

Go to www.desmos.com and “Sign up” to desmos so you can save your work

Requirements for Meeting the Standard

1. Pick at least 3 different function families to work with ((lines, parabolas, cubics,
square root, absolute value, hyperbola, logarithms, exponential)

2. Create at least 4 different functions with their corresponding derivative graphes in each
function family to create a design drawing.

3. Your design must have corresponded derivative function curve.

4. Click “Share Graph” and copy the web link to submit on canvas. ‘Print Design
Assignment’

Requirement for Exceeding the Standard

5. Shade the designs in different colors using inequalities and restricting the
domain. See example below. Use curly brackets {} to constrain the domain and
range. Click on “Edit List” to change line styles and colors.

6. Your design must have corresponded derivative function curve.

7. Click “Share Graph” and copy the web link to submit on canvas. ‘Print Design
