Abstract	During their middle and early high school years, students generally finalise their attitude towards mathematics and their perception of themselves as students of mathematics, in terms of aptitude, motivation, interest, and competence. Therefore, giving them varied opportunities to foster a positive and successful approach to the study of mathematics is critical, and can help them appreciate the relevance, usefulness, and creativity of the subject. A tool that can be used to engage students innovatively in mathematics is Desmos. Desmos is a free online graphing calculator that runs as a browser application, and also as a mobile app. For this class project, the students were asked to create a drawing with Desmos, using different functions and their transformations.
