Is there a way to shift a dot plot up in @Desmos in order to have stacked dot plots? #desmos #mtbos

Planning to get off this app and on to Blue Sky full time. professorpatton.bsky.social

Wait. Is @Amplify Desmos Math different than @desmosclassroom Desmos Math 6-A1?

Looking for some non-curricular tasks suitable for 7th grade to start the year. My first year teaching it. #iteachmath #mtbos

AND IT SAVES IN SNAPSHOTS ON THE DASHBOARD!

Just noticed Companion Mode in @desmosclassroom Labs. The ability to take pictures of student work with a phone and send it straight to be presented feels like a game changer. #mtbos

@dandersod Love DeltaMath, but curious why you find it transformative and how you’re using it. Just looking for ideas to implement it better.

Top two transformative technologies that have changed my classroom for the better: 1. deltamath 2. Standing whiteboards with randomized groups You?

@howie_hua 16 groups of 25 is 4 groups of 100. Then take one group of 25 away. 3

I think this is my 100th Mental Math Monday! Feel free to share how you would mentally calculate 15×25.

I love screen 1 from Line Zapper on @desmosclassroom because it forces students to really think before using their ONE zap. Would just love for the "try again" button to be enabled from T dashboard. Otherwise limiting zaps doesn't serve it's purpose imo.

Been trying to get Ss to realize we can reflect over ANY line and translate into place, or rotate around ANY point and translate into place, or dilate from ANY center and translate into place. Made these for Ss to analyze. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde… #mtbos #iteachmath

@martinsean Maybe relate back to the slope formula? These two IM lessons (linked), although they explore slope, opened my eyes to how point-slope was derived. My 8th graders were writing equations in point slope well before slope-intercept. access.openupresources.org/curricula/our6… access.openupresources.org/curricula/our6…

Any ideas for introducing point-slope form of a linear equation to students? Always seems to be a struggle. I try to emphasize that the x coordinate is the value of x that makes the parentheses equal to zero.

@pwharris IMO it's a model. The strategy is doing subtraction by finding the distance between the two numbers.

Is an open number line a model or a strategy? Both? How do you know? #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #MathStratChat

Not sure if this is possible, but I'd love to be able to merge students in @desmosclassroom from the dashboard. So if they work together their work is saved to both students for reference later.

@MrsSheehanMath "Trashketball" Give review in Jeopardy form. Ss answer indep. on whiteboards, then compare with group & come to agreement on an answer. They choose one group member to shoot a paper ball at a trashcan to earn the points, or can step back to a further line for double or nothing.

I think I need to try something different to review for my next test with my freshmen… what test review activities do you love? We are finishing up our unit on linear inequalities. #mtbos #iteachmath

This really got me thinking. "...yet billionaires will fund personalized learning initiatives again and again and again and we might wonder why. What accounts for the appeal of this idea?"

Looking for ways to do formative work, that get kids moving and/or engaged. Just need something different than what I'm doing. #mtbos

@desmosclassroom In the curriculum, 8.1 Quiz 2 Screen 4, the labels of the pre-image are moveable. Is there a way to disable that? #preview/2022d776-056c-467e-a7e4-dc27bc5768ee" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

@pwharris (10+2) x 75 10 x 75 = 750 2 x 75 =150 900

It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like/Retweet so others can see! #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat

Any chance the new @Desmos geometry tool will be introduced to @desmosclassroom ? Activity Builder still utilizes the old tool, and the new one is much more user friendly.

Would really love if @desmosclassroom had a feature that disabled all components of slides, but allowed students to move through the slides. Would be perfect for reviewing quizzes, or times you don't want students changing answers.
