Teach 180: Transforming Trig Graphs (Day 166)

As students learn new concepts or skills, it is important for them to get immediate feedback.  Saying "Just check your answer against the back of the book." is NOT feedback.  Sure, a student can see if they got the right answer, but it doesn't let them know why they got it wrong.  And if they get it wrong, the student really should have a chance to try it again.

In Calculus today, we reviewed transforming graphs of trig functions.  The students were able to get immediate feedback and targeted practice through DeltaMath.  The short video below shows a little about how we used DeltaMath for this feedback and practice. (Note: It does not have any sound.)

Students worked for a full 30 minutes and completed about 25 problems each.  I was able to help students, as they needed it, but students also were also able to figure out many of their errors for themselves.
