Students were tasked with creating an image made entirely from pieces of functions and equations that they would write themselves. Function types include polynomial, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, conic, etc. Working through this process helps students build functional fluency, as well as, familiarity with domain restrictions - both are integral for success in a calculus course. Students were required to meet certain criteria; many of them went above and beyond to create what they had envisioned. Some, using over 100 equations to produce their art." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
