This is an exploration activity which utilizes Desmos.com, a free online graphing calculator, to allow students to explore the different transformations of functions. While learners move through the inquiry-based activities, teachers can monitor student progress and understanding while watching the dashboard. This activity focuses on linear patterns. Through examining the commonalities in the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines, the students build the knowledge to write new equations for lines when given various information. Students build a model for world-record marathon times, then use this knowledge to critique a sports medicine news story, and to consider the process of mathematical modeling itself. We recommend you solve the challenges yourself before assigning this activity. Desmos is a free and highly engaging site for students and teachers to use.

See also this modified version: LEGO Comparison v2 These activities are similar to LEGO Priceswhich is listed above in the Linear Bundle. Note: This activity requires that students collect walking data prior to completing the activity. One student will attempt to "describe" (without using their hands) a graph for their partner to sketch (who can't talk). Using Desmos "Sketch", students generate patterns to explore zero as an exponent and negative exponents. The app provides visual models Subjects: Algebra, Algebra 2, Math Grades: 9th - 12th Types: Activities CCSS: HSS-ID.A.1, HSS-ID.A.2, HSS-ID.A.3, HSS-ID.A.4 Add to cart Wish List 3 Digit Addition Practice 3 - Desmos by Mandy's Middle Math $2.50 PDF Internet Activities Even a great worksheet can be an even more awesome Desmos experience. A quick warm-up assessing TRANSLATIONS in the coordinate plane, designed for Math 8 students. This one is good for statistics or early algebra; it requires no equation expertise. Key Understandings: A solution to a linear equation can be interpreted in two ways: (a) graphically, as a point on the line, and (b) algebraically, as an ordered pair that yields a true statement when substituted into the equation. Use student ideas here to define slope as a ratio of change in y-coordinates to change in x-coordinates. In the early rounds of the game, students may notice graph features like strong and weak associations, even though they may not use those words to describe them. (this updated version added 11/4/16), Rogue Planesby John Rowe.

At first glance, these are *just* rectangles, but many perimeters and areas have been strategically chosen. Students consider 4 students and their trips to school comparing their distance traveled over time. It assumes your students have encountered these terms, and gives them interesting cases to consider. 15-30 minutes. The object is for students to make the marbles hit each star when they are dropped. TRUTH or LIE? You will also be able to read responses from other teachers who have participated. A set of 30 Marbleslides Challenges to run throughout the year. A Desmos Gallery is a screen at the end of an activity where students get to create their own challenge for their classmates. Woot! Students will learn that adding multiples of the original equations produces a new equation of a line that has the same intersection point as the original equations.
