Draggable points to find area of grid

Hey folks!

I’d like to use an area diagram, with movable dimensions for a multiplication lesson. I found this lesson on double decomposition, but it’s locked for editing. Can anyone help either:

  1. unlock slide 3 of that lesson to enable it go be copied or

  2. share a copy of slide 3 of that lesson with me that I can use to build activities from.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, since it’s from the paid curriculum both the lesson itself as well as individual screens can’t be unlocked or shared because of permissions. I don’t have the bandwidth today, but I’m sure there’s someone that could mock up a similar graph. It’s not too complex.

Hey @Daniel_Grubbs I know this isn’t really your job per se, but that paid activity has bugs in every single graph. Here’s one screenshot to illustrate the general problem:

unless of course that’s a feature?… not sure what that’s really meant to do. it’s jarring whatever it is. anyway just fyi

Hey Mike, I’m not seeing the bug in this graph. All of the calculations look correct. Can you elaborate?

I figured that’d be the case.

Are you referring to the label for the thinner rectangle? Yes that was intentional for accessibility, so the label doesn’t collide with the rectangle borders. (Coincidentally, I did actually work on the CL for this lesson!)

I am. If I may suggest sometihng here: when a line magically appears instantly in and out of an animation it’s confusing and jarring, espeically as the line appears(to my eyes at least) as though it’s supposed to be part of the geometry of the object. Try floating the label above the element instead, as a nudge to the meaning, similar to how form labels work.

Or the line could be a different color than the diagram outline.

Here’s a start to an interactive area model. Now I just need to make the original dimensions static, and make the decomposition lines (on the x and y) moveable.

Is there an easy way to do that?

@Mike_Gleeson @Jme I’ve passed this on to review for revisions. Thanks for your feedback and proposed solutions!

Sorry that this is off topic… but you said you worked on the CL for the lesson. So can you actually have multiple people working on a CL at the same time, like how on google docs?

Activity Builder has the capability of multiple editors,

so yes to multiple editors, but not simultaneously. Only one person can edit at a time.

How does this look? I love the ability to adjust the base and the red/blue 10s/100s lines, so I kept those, but adjusted the rest to allow the decomposition lines to change.
