Day 1: Students find the domain and range of discrete data. Highlighters are a MUST for domain and range. We have students highlight the domain and the x-axis in one color and then the range and the y-axis in a different color. This year, we did a quick scavenger hunt over the lesson as an assignment. Overall, all of the Algebra classes thought day 1 went great and students were very successful!
Day 2: Students find the domain and range of continuous data. Our students always seem to struggle with finding the domain and range of continuous data. Highlighters are still a must for students to use. I know there are different teaching methods of teaching domain and range (sticky notes/boxes/highlighters). I haven’t had much success with sticky notes but if you have, please let me know how it works for you and your students. :)
Students always have great discussions with the partner activity that I created.
I hand any student that seemed to be struggling during the notes (I usually walk around while I teach with my iPad and assess understanding) the following intervention worksheet to complete before moving onto the partner activity. I created this multiple-choice intervention practice sheet this year and it seemed to have great success!
Day 3: Mixed review practice... We are doing a mini re-teach review this upcoming Tuesday and then following up with a Create a Face Activity.
In previous years, students seem to slowly catch onto domain and range through spiral review and warm-ups. Any advice and teaching tips that I can share with my team would be greatly appreciated :)!
Questions for teachers who have experience in Algebra 1 or teaching domain and range:
- Do you recommend teaching continuous data or discrete data first?
- What method of teaching domain and range have you found to be most successful?
