Slope-Intercept Stars by mathycathy. (added 11/4/16). Step 1: Pick an Activity Visit teacher.desmos.com, scroll down to the featured activities, and pick an activity (we highly recommend Floats and Anchors and DinoPops). The column on the left is limiting. (added 8/17/17) See. Students practice asking questions using vocabulary such as: acute angle, obtuse angle, right angle, complementary angles, supplementary angles, corresponding angles, vertical angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, congruent angles, transversal, parallel lines, perpendicular lines. Multimodality Lessons. Edited with love by Desmos Teaching Faculty. In this twist on a classic activity, students compare linear and exponential growth in the context of daily payments. Marbleslides: Lines Transform lines to send the marbles through the stars. (added 4/10/18), Open Middle Warm-Up: Exponents & Order of Operationsby mathycathy. Note: Since the numbers used are based on today's date, this activity can be used multiple times with the same students. Learning objective: find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. 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. This is a two piece activity. In this activity, students use sliders to explore the relationship between price and number of pieces for various Star Wars LEGO sets and to make several predictions based on that model. Students will reason abstractly and structurally, arguing that their expressions are the greatest or least possible. 60+ minutes. More advanced inequalities are welcome, but not required. Practice. Sugar Sugar Students will use unit rates in various ways to compare the sugary-ness of five cereals. Graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form. Visual Patterns -- linear and nonlinear (not sorted by grade level), Counting Arrays (not sorted by grade level), Problems / Puzzles (not sorted by grade level), Number Line and Coordinate Plane (not sorted by grade level), Grade 6 (but could work at other grades, too! Polygraph: Hexagons, Part 2 This activity follows up on Polygraph: Hexagons, using the discussions (and students' informal language) in that activity to develop academic vocabulary related to polygons.
