Objective

• Students learn to construct Mathematical Graphs of Functions with Tai Chi Math.

QCCS

• Learning Quality Core Curriculum Standards: Model Math Graphs

Materials Needed

• Graph Paper, calculators, paper, colored pencils, colored markers, digital/video camera

Procedure

• Learn and Demonstrate whole, part, and team, frozen, and dynamically animated techniques of a graph

• Take digital pictures, and movies of the form

• Construct a graph using graph paper, and pencil

• In teams, play charades with the graphs created
