Diagram/ILLUSTRATE MATH PROCESS OR CONCEPT
A new foreign-exchange student, named Pi, was just placed in our class. Pi comes from the land of
Inequality. Pi had not yet been taught the concepts we have been learning this month in math, in fact,
has never even heard of it. You have decided to help your new classmate out. Since Pi still struggles with
verbal instruction, you decide to help him/her learn and understand this process by creating a visual
representation, explanation, illustration, of the process/skill.
You can choose any tool you would like for this illustration (but drawings must be your own). Draw out
on paper, take a photo and add to a Slide show (provide me with originals on paper): For example, draw
on paper, use images from internet, Google Slides, PowerPoint, Insert Shapes/arrows, Use colors, a
cartoon, Google Draw, Excel charts, make a video explaining it (must use some visuals as you explain), or
if you are not comfortable with any of those, you can set up a Google Hangout with me and present it to
me that way. Have some fun, be creative. It’s been said, “To Teach is to Learn” increase your own skills,
by teaching another. Note: you will not be graded on artistic ability!
Below is the rubric on which your illustration/graphical representation will be graded.
