There's some great thinking that could take place in this activity!
Check out this @Desmos activity. Fraction operations and proportionate reasoning on bike paths. teacher.desmos.com/activityb… #iteachmath #MTBoS @mrchowmath @MrJohnRowe

Y’all about creating opportunities for great conversations! This could totally change the error analysis game with some great GIFs 🤔🤔
Steve show how @GraspableMath allows you to play with math!

🎃 Help your students review the coordinate plane with PUMPKIN CARVING. They'll make some wild pumpkins and send them into the Class Gallery for their classmates to marvel at. s/o to Des-buddies @cmmteach & @pejorgens for inspiring this activity. teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

Quick CL tip from your @Desmos CL Team (@MrJohnRowe me) Edit multiple locations or multiple rows at the same time! ✅Hold down option then drag to edit multiple rows ✅Hold down command then click in as many locations as you want to edit them all!

👀👀 Did you know you could provide feedback in your notes using info from the CL? Did you know you could animate that feedback?! Check out this #DesmosBuildAlong inspired by @kurt_salisbury's work to learn how. youtu.be/gFPf6YA8QK0 #iteachmath #MTBoS @AlgebraDesmos @Desmos

Hi #MTBoS, We are adding lots of teacher tools, to make it easier to assign & evaluate work activities.graspablemath.com. First up (& available now!): If you upload a class roster, you can see a list of your students, including those who *haven't* joined. #iteachmath #middleschoolmath

All over the world we are focused on "social distancing", but what we really mean is "physical distancing". It is important that we stay socially connected during the physical distance. #physicaldistance #backtogetherbetter #tlc2020

Here is a collection by @jocedage that has helped me learn CL. Look at the google doc link at the very top of the collection. It starts with naming the components. teacher.desmos.com/collectio… Ryan de la Garza @DLGEdTech has 20 wonderful Desmos videos at youtube.com/c/ryandelagarzaT…

Whaaa?!?! 🤯🤯🤯
Loving the share URL and the annotation features on zoom. I can share the online Desmos calculator and use the graph (I deleted the grid lines & worked in a blank quadrant one) as a whiteboard. Perfect for working through warm ups & helping students! @NISDPatNeff #mathrules #nerd

This would be so cool to see in action!
@kathyhen_ Are you still interested in playing BINGO virtually?? @mrchowmath was instrumental in helping me create a @Desmos version. teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

It’s easy to think, “kids watch videos all the time so they should be able to learn from one”. Learning from a video may be a foreign concept to some students that needs to be taught. This would also be fun to do with kids! 🤓 #MathTechMS #DesBookNISD @nisdmsmath
If you have any type of async work w/ Ss watching videos to learn content, remember that Ss need 1st to learn HOW to learn from video. Credit: @saravdwerf This lesson on how to learn from a video has been highlight of distance learning. #mtbos #iteachmath docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Anyone looking for a refresh in coordinate graphing? How about some Battle Boats! Great one player adaptation here by @Kurt_salisbury #DesbookNISD @nisdmsmath
Replying to @lauramontyg @Desmos
Try this...I used a random number generator to create unique boat locations and an aggregate graph to show the number of guesses for everyone in the class. teacher.desmos.com/activityb…
