Description
This activity includes 8 rotations with 4 tasks each for a total of 32 student tasks.
In pairs or small groups, students rotate to each of the 8 pages, posted on your classroom walls. Students complete 1 of the 4 tasks at each rotation. The idea is to explore and practice graphing, creating tables, identifying intercepts, examining patterns, and more!
When I used this activity to review with my own students, the conversations that occurred at each station were priceless! Naturally, students justify, explain and provide peer teaching for one another while I walk around, intervening as necessary. They also said that this activity was "fun" - which is a big deal when you're in Algebra class... ;-)
I hope your students gain a deeper understanding of linear, quadratic and exponential functions!
A sample answer key and teacher notes are included.
Thanks!
Cathy
