Desmos Wafers and Crème
Students predict which pack of cookies contains more calories. Students then learn the number of calories in each pack and use this new information to calculate the number of calories in a new pack of cookies.
Desmos Gym Membership
In this activity, students analyze several gym membership plans in order to make a recommendation to a friend. The activity assumes some familiarity with linear equations, particularly how slope and intercept appear in equations and how they affect the graph. If your students need a quick refresher on these concepts, consider offering a brief review prior to starting this activity.
