AMATYC: Visualizing Solving Equations
Visualizing Solving Equations with Function Mapping Diagrams
AMATYC Webinar

To have your work recorded and transmitted as part of this webinar
connect to this GeoGebra activity as an interactive GeoGebra class.
Mapping diagrams (MD) are an alternative to cartesian graphs for visualizing functions. The webinar will connect static and dynamic MD's to common function and algebra concepts.
Professor Flashman will show how using MD’s, created with GeoGebra, can empower students to visualize the algebra of solving equations (linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric).
Attendees will have access to a GeoGebra Book with many examples ready for use or modification in their own applications.
