Then ask them to play several more games, putting that precise language to work. Students explore a little bit of coordinate geometry by using Desmos sliders to dilate triangles and consider the consequences. They will also decide which mixtures from a list will make the same paint color. I want to test them out, using an old faithful Socrative SOC-18310521 quick-check I made previously. [Desmos is a free app that can be used on any device. (added 10/22/17). The standard is plotting points, finding side lengths, and then their areas: Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Answer key here. Coordinate Plane - Card sort, plotting points, similarities & differences between different sets of points. 45-60 minutes. Students will learn how to use restrictions on equations of horizontal and vertical lines in order to draw a face on Desmos. Note: This activity requires that students collect walking data prior to completing the activity. For a the more traditional "hands on" version click here. There are a number of domain and range activities in the Desmos database. In this short activity, students explore the relationships among a + b, a b and b a on a number line when the precise values of "a" and "b" are unknown, but their signs are known.

Could be used for and tinkered with to address 8.SP and high school stats and probability standards. Practice. This activity helps students understand the need for a common language to describe time and to surface early ideas about that language. Marbleslide Challenge Setby Sean Sweeney. (added 10/9/16), by Andrew Stadel. Beware of false "BOGUS" properties! After reading the article and viewing the various options for activities, discuss the following questions with a partner: 1) How would utilizing Desmos Graphing Calculator and Desmos Activity Builder change how you teach mathematics? Desmos From a Distance | MathyCathy's Blog - Mrs. Cathy Yenca by Desmos. Using Desmos "Sketch" and projecting the "Overlay" of student work could create powerful classroom experiences for dialogue and error-analysis! Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: domain, range, hole, and points. One plan increases by $100 each day, while another grows by doubling the previous day's payment. The activity closes by asking students to interpret the parameters in context. (added 12/19/17), O Pattern This activity consists of a patterning problem to help students understand linear relationships.

Math is power, not punishment. 60+ minutes. Students use numbers from the calendar to write expressions with a given value. (added 8/17/17) See this postfor more information and suggestions. You can search for activities by keyword at, . Students will use linear inequalities with domain and range restrictions to draw (and shade) several polygons. Three of the relationships are expressed algebraically, while two are expressed verbally in the context of a classroom: (person, grade level) and (person, shirt color). A series of graphing challenges designed to build student understanding of linear functions. Investigating Rate of Changeby Desmos. (added 12/20/17), Coordinate Planeby Jeff Jelus. Students explore the relationship between college costs and time. It is not recommended as an introduction to the topic, but rather assumes some prior knowledge. Practice. Geometry Basic Vocabulary Matching Card sort. Most of the challenges are well-suited to slope-intercept form, but depending on the goals of an individual class or student they are easily adapted to other forms of linear equations. After they checked out Guess the Correlation(these are interactive activities that would be good at other times, too). Students practice graphing coordinates in a game of a mini golf. This Marbleslides activity encourages students who are new to slope-intercept form to explore how adjusting the slope and y-intercept in a linear equation impacts the graph.
