I have this graph where the students have to place the digits in the spaces to get the least possible value of the expression. Is there a way I can make the zoom ratio fixed? I know I can do that with CL but I was wondering if I can get some similar results just by using desmos … I know I can fix the zoom ratio in desmos but student can still open the left side bar 'causing the aspect ratio to change.

I finally solved like this: [https://www.desmos.com/geometry/h49gk4nimv](https://www.desmos.com/geometry/h49gk4nimv) not perfect but good enough … ---

If you find some numeric images instead of using labels, they’ll scale where text does not. ---

thank you, that’s the right solution, an image for each digit. thx ---

I dunno, i think you’d be better served by making the text size reponsive: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/2bzcwa2neh?embed ---

I hadn’t thought much about that possibility … I thought it was too much trouble … but actually I prefer to have digits instead of images so it is actually worth. Thank you, that’s perfect!! Can I choose 2 posts as possible solutions??!!! 😃 thx (did you guys find the solution? it is not what you expect when you see the question) ---

Kind of off-topic, but it’s really convenient to set up open middle problems using polypad!

Wow, I didn’t know that was possible!!! I never used Polypad too much. Thank you!!! (can I choose 3 posts as solutions??!! 😃 ) ---
