Task: Join 642 Class. Plot your learning preferences as coordinates, label your point, and capture the class graph.
The Axes Activity is a quick icebreaker where students plot themselves on a shared Desmos graph, using coordinates that represent two learning-style spectrums (e.g., x-axis: Visual ↔ Auditory, y-axis: Independent ↔ Group). Each student enters a point with their name, creating a class-wide scatterplot that highlights similarities, differences, and the diversity of learning approaches, sparking discussion about how everyone learns best.
