piecewise function workbook page #663

Write a workbook page that makes the connections between algebra standards on piecewise functions on the coordinate plane to our lesson

flannery-denny commented 2 years ago

@schanzer I'm not sure how we would connect this to the programming environment other than teaching people how to generate piecewise functions using desmos graphing calculator. Is that what we want to do? Are there opportunities to connect to pyret/wescheme that I'm not thinking of?

@flannery-denny WeScheme doesn't have graphing functionality, so this would need to be a pyret-only lesson. But yeah, I'd have students program piecewise functions in Pyret and then graph them. (Same thing we do in the linearity lessons with def-to-graph).

This is definitely not urgent, and deserves some thinking about whether we really want to have a lesson that only works in one IDE, when all the others in the pathway work on both.
