My year 8 students did this task today as part of their lesson. The mini whiteboards (MWBs) have squares on one side, so they can use these for drawing axes.
I love using the MWBs because students feel less inhibited about making mistakes. Also, it gets them working faster; I seem to have a few students who want to draw perfect axes every time, and this can take up to five minutes!
This task is self-differentiating, since students choose the lines they want to draw. But one partner usually tries to outsmart the other, so most students get to try drawing (or guessing) the lines they find “harder”. Even though students can choose to stick to easy examples, they are encouraged not to by the structure of the task.
A pdf of this activity is available. Let me know if you try it!
Do you use mini whiteboards in class?
