Our\r\nusual examples, numeric functions, don't lend themselves to continuous\r\nmanipulation of variables or to graphical representations other than\r\nx-y graphs.  See how students use Sketchpad 5 to create their own\r\ngeometric functions, allowing them to vary the variables kinesthetically and generate pictures of function behavior.  Students will report on actual classroom use.  Ready-to-use activities will be provided.","Description":"Students often find functions and related concepts confusing.

Together, teachers and students will\r\ndiscuss the role that geometric functions should play in our\r\ncurriculum.","Presenter":["Erin Garvey","Scott Steketee"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academy","Key Curriculum Press"],"PresenterEmail":["egarvey@scienceleadership.org","ssteketee@kcptech.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":16,"ScheduleLocationID":3,"SubmitterID":62,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":46289,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":1}}
