Make no bones about it, the math students at Catawba Valley Community College have created some spooktacular mathterpieces on the Desmos graphing calculator. Who knew graphing functions could be so fang-tastically fun!
Luke Walsh, mathematics instructor at CVCC, has compiled his students halloween art into a coloring book for his son’s kindergarten class - and of corpse you are welcome to use it with your students too.
