Inspired by Investigating Rate of Change from an Equation by Mr Rothe (see below). I want to organize my activity, and it would be easier if I can see whole activity, and move the "screens" (papers) into the order that I want. Desmos is an interactive math platform that allows students to explore concepts deeply, collaborate with their peers, and practice creative problem-solving. 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. Application of Linear Equations This activity is adapted from Eureka Math Algebra 1, Module 1, Lesson 20. You're gonna need it. Later we ask students to make conjectures about different groupings why might another student have grouped the cards in a particular way? (added 9/10/16). WNBA Scoring Averages Students make predictions about the number of points per game the top pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft will score in her rookie season, based on the number of points per game she scored in her NCAA senior season.
