Exponential Models Card Sort

Thanks to the ever-innovative-and-tuned-in-to-what-teachers-would-love-to-have Desmos team, I've created an online version of a card sort that I originally developed in paper form to help precalculus students think carefully about the meaning of the parameters in various forms of exponential equations. See this blog post for more detail on the context in which I use this.

Introduction to Point-Slope Form

I created this Desmos activity to help students understand point-slope form of a linear equation, both how it relates to the equation for calculating the slope between two points and why it might be useful even if you're already good at slope-intercept form. It also introduces the idea of calling the change in x by the name h.
