Create a "Function Domino" Game
In this activity you are going to practice exporting function graphs as .png files and inserting them into a word processing document in order to create cards for a ‘Function Domino’ game.
Note: Make sure you know how to enter different types of functions before you begin with this activity.
Instructions for GeoGebra
| 1 |  | Enter an arbitrary function in the Algebra Input and confirm you input using Enter.
Examples: e(x) = exp(x)
or f(x) = sin(x).
|
| 2 | 
| Move the function graph into the center of the Graphics View. |
| Note: If you are using GeoGebra Desktop or the Web and Tablet Apps, you may reduce the size of the GeoGebra window so it only shows the desired part of the Graphics View. | ||
| 3 | 
| Export the Graphics View. Hint: Open the File menu, select Export and then the .png option. |
