Math Charades


First year high school math. (What used to be algebra.) They had an interesting assignment.

In their book, they had 18 different graphs. They were to note a feature of some of the graphs, and then they were to list all the graphs that had that feature.

Once they had generated a list, other students in the class were to guess what feature they'd noticed by only looking at the list.

It was a group assignment. I had to explain it a few times.

As I walked the room, one girl asked the same questions. I explained it again.

"Oh, this is like math charades..."

Yep. Pretty much like that.

    I think I would have not done well with that assignment. Maybe I had to see it is person, but I'm trying to figure out features of a graph. Got to give her credit though with coming up with math charades.
