You should seriously go check out Polygraph. Four versions of a delightful and challenging game:
- Lines
- Parabolas
- Rational functions
- Hexagons
The hexagons will be familiar to long-time readers of this blog.
I have run the parabolas version in College Algebra, and the hexagons version in my Ed Tech course. It was a huge hit both times—lots of conversation happened both electronically and out loud in the classroom. It’s a ton of fun.
I am especially pleased with the rational functions version. It makes for challenging work—even among the mathematically astute Team Desmos in recent trial runs.
Read the Desmos blog post on the matter if you like.
