Students will enjoy this artistic activity/project that uses Desmos.com to create a visual masterpiece. Some students will enjoy making their artwork aesthetically pleasing, while others will enjoy the abstract art concepts they can create. Having the students write both the equation, graph the function, and use a verbal description will require students to become familiar with transformation vocabulary. Document is uploaded as a word file so you can adjust with details of due dates and specifi

Students will be led around a series of 12 questions that check their ability to find slope in various representations (points, tables, graphs, verbal description) as well as create equations of lines in point-slope form. Many of the questions can be answered by MATCHING the equation to a picture/table/etc. Great for STAAR Prep or any

In this self-checking gallery walk, students will practice identifying properties of a sine and cosine function from graphs and equations as well as practice writing sine and cosine equations from verbal descriptions and graphs. Students can start at any card and after answering the question on that card they will be lead to another card with the correct answer on it. Students should answer all questions before finishing the loop. An answer key and two options for student response pages are prov

In this activity, students will work in groups to sort cards into different stacks based on properties of functions including extrema, end behavior, domain restrictions and more. You will receive a Google Slides document with both the cards to print out for students (large or small) as well as the projector screen's slides to engage the whole class in the activity. Feel free to edit as you need! The 12 Basic functions included are linear, quadratic, cubic, rational, square root, exponential, log
