Polygraph: Rational Numbers Designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about rational numbers. Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: rate of change, increasing, decreasing, constant, velocity, and intercept. Polygraph: Distance-Time Graphs Designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about distance-time graphs. Polygraph - Ramps What in formal language might students have in their conversations about the steepness of ramps, attributes of triangles, etc.? Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: pyramid, prism, cone, cylinder, sphere, point, edge, surface, lateral, and base. Polygraph: Identifying 3D Figures This Custom Polygraph is designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about three-dimensional objects. Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: concave, convex, equilateral, equiangular, regular, parallel, quadrilateral, pentagon, and hexagon. Polygraph: Polygons Designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about polygons and their physical characteristics. Polygraph: Hexagons, Part 2 This activity follows up on Polygraph: Hexagons, using the discussions (and students' informal language) in that activity to develop academic vocabulary related to polygons. Students will be able to… Identify important features of polygons … Precisely describe these features to their peers … Increase their vocabulary relevant to polygons Polygraph: Hexagons Ask questions to guess which shape your classmate picked. Polygraph: Advanced Quadrilaterals Students will be able to… Identify important features of quadrilaterals … Precisely describe these features to their peers … Increase their relevant vocabulary Polygraph: Basic Quadrilaterals Students will be able to… Identify important features of quadrilaterals … Precisely describe these features to their peers … Increase their relevant vocabulary Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: scalene, obtuse, acute, right, isosceles, and equilateral. Polygraph: Triangles Designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about triangles. As students play, my hope is they will gain a deeper understanding of perimeter, area, and their independence. Polygraph: Rectangles At first glance, these are *just* rectangles, but many perimeters and areas have been strategically chosen. Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: shaded, unshaded, fraction, part, whole, numerator, denominator, simplified, and equivalent/equal to. Designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about fractions and part-to-whole relationships. Edited with love by Desmos Teaching Faculty. Polygraph: Shaded Rectangles by Andrew Stadel. Then let students play again and experience the power of that formal language. We recommend you don't pre-teach that language but let students use their informal language first and then connect it to the formal language in a brief period of direct instruction. This activity helps students understand the need for a common language to describe time and to surface early ideas about that language.
