Scripting Algebra (SA)
SA is a set of activities that can be used to create generative art while learning Algebra. Beauty can inspire and bring about enthusiasm. This series of activities is not meant to teach code, rather to use it as an instrument for deeper understanding and appreciation for math. Most programming will be done using p5.js. Codepen and p5.js accounts are free and useful for this series.
Projects:
Program a graphic for the Real Number system.
Program linear abstract art animations.
Play with the pow() function and visualize exponents
Play with perpendicular lines through animation
Find the intersections of lines through art
Drawing lines between two parabolas in standard form.
Another look at parabolas with directrix and focus as a core element
Playing with the rotational and reflective symmetries of even/odd functions.
Create a drawing through playing with quadrants.
I plan to fill these in as I go…
