Parametric Thinking

What do the three animations below have in common?

They all have one point or multiple points moving along lines, and most importantly they all make use of parametric thinking to create moving parts in Desmos, an online graphing calculator.

In this module we’re going to go through how you can use parametric thinking to start building your own animations. Once you’ve got the basics down the only limit is your creativity!

Open a fresh Desmos sheet here and let’s get started.
