In class, this semester, we created a series of graphs related to jumping jacks (see CMP's Variables and Patterns) I asked my students to spend some time looking at all the graphs across both classes I provided them a pptx file titled "Jumping Jack Flash(es)" With this title slide

White text on black - The Rolling Stones (1968) lyrics
"But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
"But it's all right, I'm jumpin' jack flash
"it's a gas, gas, gas"
