Modelling-based approach to pre-calculus materials: exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational, piecewise-defined, and trigonometric functions; transformations and composition of functions; parametric curves. Emphasizing the rule of four: graphically, numerically, verbally, and algebraically
I wonder if we can set up some gamification within the document. Perhaps by assigning certain examples or problems a point value... With this new xml approach, we could easily create versions with and without the features.
Possible implementations include:
labelling problems/examples with an avatar of some kind that details the point values; we could have a level-point tracking sheet with a badge-based scheme at the front or back of the document
attempting or mastering certain problems/sections could give special items that allow students to 'fight' different level bosses
we could copy Geoff's idea of a math pet
I've also been wondering if we could somehow weave the Language of Flowers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers) into the document. It's not obvious how that would work, but it could be fun.
