DI in the Math Classroom
Bell-Ringer or Exit Slip
List the steps you would take to graph the equation y = ax2 + bx + c.
Draw the graph of y = 2x2 + 4x – 6, and label the important pieces of the graph.
Create your own quadratic equation and graph.
Choose One to Complete
(One idea of formative assessment)
Choice-Driven Quiz (or daily assignment)
Sternberg Project (used in place of traditional mid-chapter quiz)
1. Pick 2 points and use the Distance
Formula to find the distance between
them.
2. Draw a diagram and explain the
Pythagorean Theorem.
3. Draw a circle on a coordinate plane
and use the midpoint formula to
find the center.
4. Explain the Distance Formula
and its parts.
5. Create or find a real world example of
using the Pythagorean Theorem and solve.
6. Find the midpoint of a segment using
to endpoints.
7. Draw a triangle on a coordinate plane
and use the Distance Formula to find the
perimeter.
8. Solve one problem using the Pythagorean
Theorem and one problem using the
converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.
9. Explain the Midpoint Formula
and its parts.
Think-Tac-ToeChoose 3 tasks (either diagonally or horizontally) to complete. Mark the three you choose with X’s or O’s. You may use the bottom of this page or the back to complete your work.
Self-Selected Groups (Choices)(Used to introduce graphing inequalities in two variables)

Student Work Samples
Rap Song Power Point Skit/Presentation Jeopardy Game Posters, Etc…
Research Shows That…Choices vs. Required
In process, product No student voice Groups, resources, environment Restricted resources
Relevant vs. Irrelevant Meaningful impersonal Connected to learner out of context Deep understanding only to pass a test
Engaging vs. Passive Emotional, energetic low interaction Hands on, learner input lecture, seatwork
Equals Increased Intrinsic Increased Motivation Apathy and Resentment
