We came so close to finishing the first quarter face to face, but had to transition to remote learning for a week and a half starting on the last day of the quarter. Fortunately, I had been preparing my classes for this from the beginning of the year. They have been scanning and submitting all of their work in Google Classroom and we have been using Desmos on a regular basis. I would use Desmos wether we were face to face or remote, but I love Desmos even more when we have to go to remote learning.
I found some great activity builders on Desmos for this unit that I didn't have last year. I even went to a virtual math seminar on using the computational layer in Desmos to add special elements to Desmos Activity Builder this past weekend and tried my hand at it for an activity we did this week. I must confess I made a couple of mistakes that my students helped me to realize and fix as we did it. It's not fancy, but it gave my students the group practice I wanted them to have with graphing rational functions with slant asymptotes.
Here's the link to my whole collection: Precalculus Unit 3
Here are the individual activities:
Polynomial Equation Challenges
Polygraph: Polynomials (My students LOVE polygraphs!)
Sketching Polynomials...without Desmos
Horizontal and Slant Asymptotes (I love the use of "which one doesn't belong" in this activity.)
Graphing Rational Functions (This is my creation...not fancy, but it accomplished what I was looking for.)
