This activity provides directions and practice for students in Math 6, Math 7, Math 8, or Algebra 1. Even leading up to STAAR, one has to Google in order to find these directions, and having students understand the flexible syntax before panic strikes mid-test is necessary.

During my time proctoring STAAR, I have never seen directions mentioned that remind students how to correctly grid their answers to open-response problems. To help students feel comfortable with “griddable” questions (that will now be more type-able than griddable using an online testing platform) I created this Desmos activity. I wanted to stop through the ol’ blog to share several resources that might be helpful before STAAR (or may at least give you ideas to modify if you’re not specifically in Texas). As state testing shifts to an online platform, having Desmos embedded was the hope, and here we are! I hope Desmos is also on your state test. A “ both-and” graphing calculator situation! Woot! Years back, we clunked our way through locking students into the original Desmos Test Mode app on iPads, but that only worked because students took paper tests.

Next month, when students across Texas take an online state STAAR test, they will also see an * embedded* Desmos graphing calculator option in addition to a TI emulator. It’s been (at least) 7 years in the making!
