Guess the Graph

Learn to read graphs by thinking like a mathematician. Guess hidden functions from their graphs, experiment with parameters, and build intuition through visual feedback.

Graph Detective is an interactive educational app that helps students build intuition about mathematical functions by analyzing graphs instead of memorizing formulas.

Players are shown a graph without its equation and are challenged to reconstruct the underlying function by adjusting parameters or entering expressions. As users experiment, the graph updates in real time, encouraging exploration and hypothesis testing.

The app supports multiple difficulty levels:

Easy: Explore quadratic and linear functions using sliders

Medium: Enter full expressions including trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions

Hard: Analyze composite and piecewise functions with minimal hints

Graph Detective features a custom math input interface optimized for learning, optional hardware keyboard support, and a built-in cheat sheet that explains common graph patterns and transformations.
