I liked how some students knew it would be a power of 10 but weren t sure if there were 100 grams or 1 000 grams in a kilogram.
Marble slide exponentials answers.
Which of the following are exponential functions.
I decided to use the last day before christmas vacation to let my algebra 2 students give the parabola challenges a try.
Then prepare with released staar questions.
At least 3 in each class knew there were 16 ounces in a pound so multiply the answer by 16 ounces.
Translated by the desmos localization team into.
Of these functions only h x is not an exponential function remember that the independent variable must appear in the exponent for the function to be exponential.
They had to graph exponentials by hand the night before for homework and struggled so i thought it would be a great opener for the class.
H x x 3 2.
Students who know a little something about domain range and slope intercept form for lines y mx b.
I forced students to work as pairs instead of having them work independently.
G x 2 x 2.
Recap exponential functions using a desmos activity.
I wanted to give activities that anyone familiar with graphing lines could complete with some effort but that could also provide further challenge for students who know more about graphing.
What is the domain of an exponential function f x kb x.
The prior knowledge indicated in the notes mentions y mx b should be known.
Parabolas desmos just released their newest set of activities on tuesday aptly named marbleslides.
We also discussed how much 2 26 kilograms was in grams.
I wonder why this terminology is not used then.
Parabolas activity builder by desmos.
I did marble slides with exponentials in my class.
Students will test their ideas by launching the marbles and will have a chance to revise before trying the next challenge.
Love the success feedback on each slide.
F x 3e 2 x.
Again the formulation of the task is change one number in the row below to fix the marble slide.
G x 15 7 x.
The original activities went so well last year that i decided to regularly give more marbleslides challenges throughout the year.
