A very simple sorting activity where students are given expressions and the sentence to describe them and have to match them up. Once you have an account, you can create your own activities. (Also see Des-Drawwhich includes nonlinear.). If no, is there a way to have all the screens view-able and move able? Card sort. As students extend that linear model, the teacher can facilitate a discussion about the difference between what math predicts and what the world reveals. Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: concave, convex, equilateral, equiangular, regular, parallel, quadrilateral, pentagon, and hexagon. Inspired by OpenMiddle.com, this brief warm-up experience is designed to help students apply the correct order of operations to numerical expressions that contain exponents.

Celebrity Age Guessing (Bloch). One is the picker and the other the questioner. After the picker chooses one graph or picture, the questioner asks yes or no questions and uses the answers to narrow down the correct graph or picture. Desmos is great! 30-45 minutes. This activity helps students understand the need for a common language to describe time and to surface early ideas about that language. Students will evaluate numerical and variable expressions containing exponents with positive or negative bases. We recommend students work on this task using computers AND paper. Dot-to-Dot Puzzles This activity is an interaction version of puzzles that can be found in an article written by Alex Bellos.

Instead of students changing the orientation of the line, they must change the orientation of the Cartesian Plane or draw the $$x and $$y axes to fix the graphs and correctly show the equation of the straight line given. Exploring Length with Geoboardsby Michael Fenton. My hope is to leave it open to encourage students' creativity while helping them brush up on restricting the domain and range of various functions, gently reminding them that using inequalities can create some rad shading. Internet Activities. Application. This activity will provide opportunities for students to deepen their previous understanding with linear equations. Use a number line to: better understand inequality notation; write, graph, and shade inequalities; apply inequalities to real-world contexts (added 10/9/16), Lawnmower Mathby Desmos. by mathycathy. You're gonna need it. You do have access to the teacher guide for any activity that lays out a summary, teacher tips, all of the screens, and places for you to leave notes. I have a dynamic raw data list that students are working with and I have a list that is storing the mode (s) from that raw data list, both of which Id like to be able to print as a student generates new questions.

In this follow-up activity, students investigate two new patterns in order to make predictions about the number of blue and purple squares in a grid of pixels. Note: Students may get stuck on Screen 7. After most students have played 2-3 games, consider taking a short break to discuss strategy, highlight effective questions, and encourage students in their use of increasingly precise academic language. The slides for this are at Age Guessing Updated 10-21-15; and the handout for guessing is athttp://bit.ly/1234-guess Before the lesson I had students work on How good is your line of best fit? With that in mind, it makes a great first activity in an exponential functions unit. by Michael Fenton. There is also an extension where students try to reflect a pre-image across the line y = x. Translations and Reflectionsby Paul Jorgens. by Andrew Stadel. I have use polygraphs with all levels of students from beginning Algebra through Pre-Calculus.

How did your classmates see it? It is a great way to incorporate piecewise functions as students learn how to limit the domain. A simple card sort for Rational vs. Irrational numbers, and then a couple of follow-up questions after that. Later we ask students to make conjectures about different groupings why might another student have grouped the cards in a particular way? Card sort. Here, they work with transformations of an individual point, but one that they can move in order to investigate the relationship between the original point and its image.).

After appropriate wait time, you may want to encourage them to consider the "difference" between the stacks. by Desmos. The activity should be followed (immediately, if possible) by a teacher-led review of the method used at the end, which may lead well into additional examples and practice. By "smallest solution" we mean "the solutionnot necessarily uniquewith least absolute value, whether positive or negative."
