This year i ll be teaching algebra 1 algebra 2 and calculus.
Marbles slide challenge 1.
In this delightful and challenging activity students will transform parabolas so that the marbles go through the stars.
1 point if their solution is very consistent if you watch a student s solution it might not work perfectly because there is some variation depending on your screen size.
Setting up visual model i learned from experience that many students skim the percentages and start randomly placing marbles.
We start challenge 1 together.
Love the success feedback on each slide.
Introduce the design challenge.
Teams of 3 or 4 participants design and build a marble run that keeps a marble rolling for the longest time.
And could help provide some extra challenge but it has far exceed my expectations for what it could be.
Give teams 5 minutes to plan their marble run.
Some tips you can share.
In this delightful and challenging activity students will transform lines so that the marbles go through the stars.
The kids loved it.
I did marble slides with exponentials in my class.
Each team gets 10 paper tubes 2 cereal boxes 5 cups 1 pair of scissors 1 roll of tape and at least 1 marble.
Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.
2 extra points if they use only 1 equation.
Students will test their ideas by launching the marbles and will have a chance to revise before trying the next challenge.
Longest time before marble hits the ground.
Some got 1 2x when trying to type 1 2x and a i showed some how to press arrow right after the fraction.
Before students are let loose to work at their own pace or with a partner i ll point out 4 features.
Almost 1 min 4 seconds.
Great set up in low entry point and working its way up to attainable challenge problem.
Marble slow race gravity challenge for lakes magnet school.
It s interesting how a majority of students who solved this challenge decided to split the pathway of the marbles with an upside down v made of 2 lines.
This could be creative mathematically or artistically.
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.
1 2 points if they have a particularly creative solution.
