Sketch your own football pitch
In this activity students will make use of the theme of football on the Moon to design a future football stadium for playing the game on the Moon. They will think about the main design considerations and requirements for the stadium. They will then produce annotated sketches of their idea.

Sketching a Quadratic Function by Firstly Expressing It in Completed Square Form
The mathematical solution explains how to sketch the function f(x) = x[sup]2[/sup] + 6x + 8 by firstly expressing the function in completed square form. A detailed explanation of how to find the completed square form is given. The graph of y = x[sup]2[/sup] is then drawn followed by a series of transformations...
Sketching an Exponential Function and Solving an Exponential Equation
The mathematical solution explains how to sketch the graph of an exponential function. Explanation of the graph being an increasing exponential is given and the fact that y=0 is an asymptote is discussed. The intersection point with the y axis is found and, using the information given, the graph is sketched....
Sketching the Graph of a Cubic and Transformations Thereof
The mathematical solution explains how to sketch the graph of a quadratic function given one of the roots of the equation. The factor theorem is used to express the function as a product of three linear factors and hence find all three roots. The general shape of the graph can then be determined. The...
Sketching is an incredibly broad and practical survey of sketching techniques for product designers. It goes without saying that the book is suited for the classroom, but every design studio will also find this...
