MARBLESLIDES
MARBLESLIDES
How Marbleslides Work:
Marbleslides provide a fun, video-game environment where students are challenged to create parameters so that their marble slide a certain way. This feature needs to be enabled in Desmos Labs to make your own in Activity Builder.
Polygraph
Polygraph
How Polygraph Works:
Each student plays a practice round against the computer to learn how the game works.
Next, students are paired with a classmate to play polygraph with graphs (or polygons—it’s teacher choice!) One person chooses a graph; their partner asks yes/no questions in order to narrow a field of suspects down to one.
Between rounds, students answer questions that focus their attention on vocabulary and strategy.
Card Sort
Card Sort
How Card Sort Works:
Students drag and match cards for any mathematical relationship. You can use the Results View to see how students are doing. A Summary Review will show you common errors made.
