Based on some recent Desmos Live (s/o Dan Meyer) and asks from some teachers, I made this infinite practice for graphing lines (y=mx+b). Thinking a lot about when this would be good for Ss. Here for your thoughts! #improvemyAB teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

Inspired by the Math Teacher Lounge and Jenna Laib to do slow-reveal boxplots in Algebra. It was a great way to access prior knowledge and I enjoyed seeing/hearing student thoughts on what data the plot might represent.

-I watched Desmos live from 1/28 -My daughter came home from KG with the "mystery box" Put them together: teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde… My mind is spinning about adding animation (opening the box)/feedback. A definite work in progress! @AlgebraDesmos

I can not express enough how much I love this slide by Kurt Salisbury, Ph.D.. I revamped the activity to fit our lesson on quadratics and projectiles and am SO excited to use it with students next week. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

In an unexpected turn of events, Desmos Penny Circle turned into a debate over whether the floor in the video was carpeting or tile. If you want to get kids talking and debating this will do it😂- they were very split- lots of good reasoning for both!

Not sure why I haven’t always thought of negative exponents as dividing. 2^4=1*2*2*2*2. 2^-4=1/(2*2*2*2)

Played with Desmos Balance the Scale and my 9yo joined in. Days later she asks "can we do another one?". She has me change the exponent (typically starting with 100😀) and then adjusts. Awesome way to look at big/small numbers!

I am teaching AP Stats for the first time this year and would love recommendations for people to follow. Thanks in advance!! #mtbos #iteachmath

Trying to shift student mindsets from "when I see this I DO this" (memorizing) to "when I see this I KNOW this" (understanding) can be tough when some have survived by memorizing for so long.

Practicing my sequence of questions in a #thinkingclassroom. Amazed at how many problems accomplished at VNPS's! Rational exp task today(last one from open middle). docs.google.com/document/d/1Yc…

The Desmos Fellowship PD experience is truly like no other! Thank you to Desmos @desmosclassroom and Amplify for continuing this amazing program. So thankful to work with/learn from so many amazing people! 💚💙
