Hands-On Math with Desmos

Target Audience: K-12th Grade Teachers

The Desmos activity builder is a fantastic online tool for teachers to create formative assessments and exploratory activities. Within Desmos, students can manipulate graphs, tables, and equations, and they can complete self-checking activities that give them immediate feedback.

This workshop will equip teachers with the knowledge of how to access and edit existing activities, as well as how to build new ones from scratch. It will also focus on specific tools within Desmos, such as anonymous naming and teacher pacing, that help these activities flow smoothly in a classroom setting.

This workshop is designed specifically for math teachers whose students have access to computers; however, it could also be extended to the science classroom.
