Often our students have questions, even after classes. Flexi, an AI tutor, is offered by CK-12 to assist students with any questions they may have 24/7 anywhere, on any device. Flexi uses AI but it also has a large selection of courses in Math and Science to answer questions. Answers can include links to background information  (lesson from CK-12) on the question asked. Students can ask questions in other topic areas from AI.

In this activity, have the class explore a variety of questions and write a reflection on how they see themselves using Flexi.

The second activity, called Algebra Antics, can be used in the classroom as a "Jeopardy" style game for Algebra review; a class activity where students, working alone or in groups, must show how to get the correct answer; a modified Bingo; or as an independent review. There are two different games. The first one covers Algebra Antics, Solving Equations, Graphing, Statistics, and Functions. The second game covers Exponents, Quadratic Equations, Inequalities, Systems, and Other Stuff. Both games are geared to Algebra 1 students.

There are many math activities covering Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Calculus and Differential Equations; however, some require a paid subscription. Look for free activities that are listed as open.
