Marbles Slide Challenge 1

It s the only challenge worked on as a whole group.
Marbles slide challenge 1. I did marble slides with exponentials in my class. Some tips you can share. This could be creative mathematically or artistically. Marble slow race gravity challenge for lakes magnet school.
The kids loved it. Give teams 5 minutes to plan their marble run. 2 extra points if they use only 1 equation. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.
We start challenge 1 together. Love the success feedback on each slide. In this delightful and challenging activity students will transform lines so that the marbles go through the stars. 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.
Teams of 3 or 4 participants design and build a marble run that keeps a marble rolling for the longest time. Introduce the design challenge. And could help provide some extra challenge but it has far exceed my expectations for what it could be. Each team gets 10 paper tubes 2 cereal boxes 5 cups 1 pair of scissors 1 roll of tape and at least 1 marble.
This year i ll be teaching algebra 1 algebra 2 and calculus. 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. In this delightful and challenging activity students will transform parabolas so that the marbles go through the stars.
Some got 1 2x when trying to type 1 2x and a i showed some how to press arrow right after the fraction. Setting up visual model i learned from experience that many students skim the percentages and start randomly placing marbles. The basic idea is that marbles will fall down from a certain point on a graph and students need to graph equations to help them collect all of the stars on the screen. Almost 1 min 4 seconds.
1 2 points if they have a particularly creative solution. 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. 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.
