Remember my giant coordinate plane? I am only in addition to thence ridiculously proud of this thing. I dear it.
I'll live on honest. Not all of my kids idea it was equally cool equally I did. A bunch of them had a "Ms. Hagan, really?" facial expression on their faces when I introduced it to the class. But, I'm used to that facial expression past times now. There were too the students who stayed subsequently degree to graph points past times standing on the coordinate airplane because they wanted to possess got a plough fifty-fifty though nosotros ran out of time.
Remember the fly swatter game?
Well, a distich of weeks ago, I decided to combine the two. We played the wing swatter game on the giant coordinate plane. Two students would come upward up to the coordinate plane. They could stand upward anywhere around the coordinate airplane that they wanted. I would present them an ordered pair. (I reused my flies that I had hung around the room for this.) The root 1 to slap the right house on the coordinate airplane alongside their wing swatter won.
I had to brand several rules to proceed students from only slapping random places. For example, exclusively their root slap counted. If they slapped the incorrect place, they could non win the round. The contest was intense.
This activeness definitely worked improve for my smaller classes. I fifty-fifty turned this into a quiz for my smallest Algebra 1 degree of 10 students. Each educatee had to come upward up to the coordinate plane. I asked them 3 questions like to these: 1. Show me where (-3, 2) is on the coordinate plane. 2. Show me where (0, 4) is on the coordinate plane. 3. Choose a betoken inward the 4th quadrant. Show it to me, in addition to say me its ordered pair.
