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.

I love this @Desmos AB by @parkermathed as a way for students to review graphing. Curious if there is anything else like this out there. Standard form? Point-slope? Quadratics? teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

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!

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)

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!

I can not express enough how much I love this slide by @kurt_salisbury. 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…

Inspired by the @MTLShow and @jennalaib 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.

Based on some recent Desmos Live (s/o @ddmeyer) 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…
