Embodied Design

Functional Thinking

The design consists of three task sequences presented as 3 sessions:

  • Session 1: Light ray and shadows: Exploring Linear Relationships
  • Session 2: Nomogram: Kinesthetic Learning of Functional Relationships
  • Session 3: Dynamic Graphs: Function Transformations
