# MatchingStaticGraphs

## Matching Problems That Have Static Graphic Images

This code shows how to create a matching problem for functions and their graphs using MathObjects. Students input their answers using drop-down select lists (popup lists).

Set-up: This is probably the only section you need to modify. Create an array of surfaces and a corresponding array of contour plots. You could also do this for functions and their derivatives. Set the number of questions displayed, $k, manually if you like. You probably don't want more than five graphs to be displayed. Image files must be GIF or PNG and be located in the same directory as the pg file. @subset_of_surfaces = @surfaces[@subset]; @subset_of_contours = @contours[@subset]; @permutation = NchooseK($k,$k); @shuffled_subset_of_contours = @subset_of_contours[@permutation]; @numbercaptions = (1..$k);
@alphacaptions = @ALPHABET[0..$k-1]; TEXT(beginproblem()); BEGIN_TEXT$BEGIN_ONE_COLUMN
Match each graph with its contour plot.  If you click on a graph,
a larger graph will appear in a new window.  Green contours represent
lower elevations, and red contours represent higher elevations.
In the contour plots, the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is
vertical, as usual.
