I want to make a poster out of this to hang in my classroom.  Any suggestions?

Upload your image and you can get a 24"X36"  or you might take the picture to your local printer. We have one here called "Signs by Tomorrow" that is a franchise.

Ho-boy everybody has a large format printer these days...
You should asks the judgement of the printer as to how large you can print that before it gets pixilated.

And from one math lover to another, I assume you have the Al-gebra movement joke already?
In case you don't here she goes:

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, an official said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,", he said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, he said "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," he said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

He warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

He said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertain of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks...."

Suggestion: to have it printed that big, save the file to "140 ppi" over the default 300 or 240 for whichever print lab you use.

Thank me later...

I heard the al-gebra joke before but this one made me laugh out load during a Pre-Calc exam.  I can't even tell them the joke because I teach in a Catholic high school!
