I have frankensteined several desmos activities to help cover the content of our curriculum. We are focusing on Data Displays, and I found a great desmos activity that showed Stem & Leaf plots. Unfortunately, have been having a BEAR of a time to get slide 3 to clear if students’ put the wrong answers in. I have tried several different sinks to try and reset the input to no avail. Any suggestions? Pretend I’m pretending to be a programmer, but really I’m just an overworked overwhelmed teacher trying to prevent kids from skipping over their work and submitting blank assignments.
When you say “reset the input”, do you mean you want the capture lists to be cleared? That is not possible.
Strategies will depend on when/how you want the reset to occur. Do you want it to clear after the animation of an incorrect answer? Do you want everything to clear or just the incorrect parts? You can, for example, filter the numberList that’s sent into the graph by correctness if you want to keep correct answers. More complex would be capturing the index of the last incorrect answer in order to constrain the list to entries after that one.
