We were working on function and they needed practice, but not just sit at their desks and work on a worksheet practice. So I decided to make these huge posters, one poster for each of the three steps for graphing a function.
This activity got my students up and moving around the room while still working on practice. The few feet between each step made a big difference. It gave them time to stop thinking about what they just did and focus on what they are to do next. To them it made each problem seem like three easy tasks.
I had three sets of these posters and even though it was only three problems worth of practice they got each of them correct.
At the end of the hour I gave them an exit ticket over these types of problems and found that most of my students were ready to move on the next day. I did have to work with one student who has been struggling all year, but this activity gave me the time to do just that.
