Marbleslides Rationals (480p)

Anyone can start sliding the graph, but the later "Challenge" screens require deep algebraic knowledge.

The student’s goal is to write an equation that creates a path—a slide—for the marbles to roll down and collect all the stars.

The primary objective is simple: shift, stretch, and restrict rational functions to create a path for purple marbles to collect all the stars on the coordinate plane. What are Marbleslides? marbleslides rationals

This introduces the concept of .

Teachers love Marbleslides: Rationals because it eliminates "plug-and-chug" boredom. Here is what students learn implicitly: Anyone can start sliding the graph, but the

Marbleslides: Rationals is more than just a game; it is a solution to one of the hardest topics in Algebra 2.

The parameter $a$ controls the "width" and orientation of the hyperbola. What are Marbleslides

Students learn how adding or subtracting constants affects the graph. Changing

In the linear version, students build ramps. In the parabola version, they build bowls and launches. But in , students are armed with the equation:
