This was my first attempt at creating a MarbleSlide activity using Desmos. In this activity students practice creating direct variation equations while trying to launch marbles into stars. I found that this activity really motivates my students to keep trying and to persist. Turning a difficult task into a game allows more of my students to access the material and provide them with instant feedback.
