This reminded me of all the years of AIS teaching with ⁦IFL⁩ support. The most important thing they taught me was to listen to student thinking and make connections from early thinking to new thinking. ⁦Desmos⁩ makes room for this daily! open.substack.com/pub/danmeyer/p…

Can we do this at our next department meeting? 😊 I do notice students don’t typically get much experience with area and geometric visualization by the time I see them. This would be great to try! Thank you! vimeo.com/779776180

Well now I’m reconsidering my lesson tomorrow. 😊

Gotta love middle schoolers. And of course ⁦Desmos⁩ for helping to create agency, fun, and creativity in my math class. 👏🏼

We just finished this unit on @desmosclassroom . I think we’ll have to revisit this soon. 😊

Another one!!! 👏🏼

I love this problem! It was first introduced to me as lightbulbs but I like this better. More school friendly. 😊

Never stops to amaze me. 👏🏼

Haven’t made one field goal yet 😂 but I’m sure my students will be much better than I am. 👏🏼 🏈

So pleased to see my students connecting geometry and algebra! #iteachmath ⁦Desmos⁩

I could watch this all day! Makes me wonder about so many other possible connections. 😊

I’m dying to know what 20% of students responded. Dan Meyer Maybe 6? (solve for perimeter of 10 and noticed only one side of 4cm was labeled)

Sometimes we forget that with every teacher decision comes a vote for change. A chance to push perceptions into a better light. What’s your vote?

Made it Midway so far and it feels fitting to grab a coffee @CafeDecart on my way to the Desmos fellowship opening weekend. #desmosfellowship

I can already tell this is going to be awesome. So nice to meet new friends. 😊

So much to notice and wonder this weekend with Amplify and Desmos fellows. I noticed how quickly it felt like home and wonder when we’ll meet again. So many thanks to all who made this happen.

Can’t lie, coming off the Amplify @desmosclassroom fellowship weekend to return to grading a test wasn’t sounding super exciting. Then I start reading comments like this one (from a student that hasn’t loved math in past years). 😢 😁 I’m calling 2022-23 a win.

Why is this so engaging? 😃 Challenge accepted! 👏🏼

Love this! Makes me curious what the way approach is to generalize it for fractional amounts or negatives. 😊

I recently built a version of a task from nrich.maths.org in Desmos Classroom and used it with some strategies from #buildingthinkingclassrooms. It is a great example of how technology can support collaborative tasks. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…
