I’m looking for a post that @ddmeyer wrote about students not having to visit every screen of a Desmos/Amplify activity. Anyone know what I’m referring to?

Have you seen samedifferentimages.wordpres… from @bstockus? Same or Different? is a routine that provides students opportunities to construct arguments when comparing objects, such as numbers or shapes. #iteachmath

Another @Desmos question--is there an already created class data screen for a scatter plot? Meaning--students enter their own data on a screen and it populates with all other student data on a scatter plot? TIA

No student lacks knowledge. This is the whole ballgame, folks. teapawt.net/SamAltarac/status/1848…
I’m not sure that’s a useful reframe. I think people disagree with what to do for students who lack knowledge. Explicit instruction vs minimally guided instruction is a debate about the role of the teacher not what prior knowledge students have and accessing it…

How many different ways can we find the area of a triangle? In our math club, we’re exploring this question using @desmosclassroom. It turns out there are far more methods than I initially thought when we began this discussion. #ITeachMath teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

My favorite slide from one of my favorite talks at @NCTM. One of the biggest challenges facing math teachers (whether they know it or not!) is turning wrong answers into learning. Behold! The Super Wrong, Kinda Right continuum. /by @ottensam docs.google.com/presentation…

It's Thanksgiving in Canada so there is no school today. Created a @desmosclassroom Halloween Esti-mystery for my son and his friends. Care to give it a try? #ITeachMath student.desmos.com/join/gfhy…

Anyone like to do math and look at student work together? One grant I work on is offering one last session of online PD starting next Monday. Stipend for those who complete. A few optional Zoom sessions. Love to have some of you join us! encompassmath.org/orcids-pro…

Here are ten short lesson ideas, all pulled from major curricula and edtech products. Which of them will ACTUALLY work well? Which will result in chaos? Take the survey and check your answers against practicing teachers. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Polypad experts — if I build an activity builder with a polypad page for students to create artwork (like for the contest)…is there a way to push that artwork out to an actual Polypad link to be shared outside of the activity bulder @MathigonOrg @davidporas

I'm wondering if any elementary teachers (specifically primary) have used the Stronger/Clearer routine with their students? Do you have video or sentence stems? TIA @TracyZager @gfletchy @MathMinds

Anyone familiar with the NLVM site nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/category… ? Used to love the Circle 0 game—wondering if one of the @Desmos experts out there have created something similar…
