I also think that *here* content is a much bigger issue. So many people don’t have it and are afraid of it, including teachers.

Hello, I was wondering if you had the URL to the winning graph? I am currently completing a math assignment where one of the components is to include a shaded region in my graph and I am unsure as to how to restrict the shading between two parabolas.

Thank you!!

Hi Susan,

I’m not 100% sure which Desmos grid you’re referring to. However, if you’re referring to the Desmos graph listed under “Resources” press the “play button” next to “a = 0” in the graph to begin the reveal.

Let me know if that helps!
