This week, we are focusing on how to use features in Woot Math to offer support to students who might be struggling on a given task. This week’s WootPoll uses the context of a fish tank to have students model a linear equation, find the x- and y-intercepts and construct a graph. This poll is quicker than previous weekly WootPolls and can be used as an exit ticket or warm up.
We’ve just launched some new often-requested features in Woot Math Polls. Below is a quick recap of the top additions. Please keep the requests coming @wootmath!
This week’s math poll uses the context of a new job and commute costs to learn about systems of equations, functions and linear equations. Students model various situations based on hours worked and price of commute. This poll ends with an opportunity for students to use their computations to make value judgements about if they think the benefits outweigh the costs.
Welcome to our first #WeeklyMathPoll. These are designed to help stimulate discussions about mathematics while giving you valuable data on your students’ thinking. You can use it as a warm-up, exit ticket or build an entire lesson off of it. Feel free to copy the poll to your account and modify as you see fit. If you want help aligning it to a different grade level, tweet at us @WootMath or email polls@wootmath.com.
