I'll create math…that's an equity for all.

Way too long I've been blind to the barriers I've been building with math. Sorry. I'll continue to do what I do but now strive for an ∃Q∪√-1τy∀

What about recursion on a sturgeon?

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

What about catenary on the Virgin Mary? #mathmas

@Desmos Oh, and another push for violin plots so that we can compare them to boxplots.

A student in my summer stats class competed in the Strike King Bassmaster College National Championship. I created a graph of the top 50 for them. The data is super interesting. The top 11 are clear outliers and separating themselves from the lower 39.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

@Desmos A checkbox works. Then maybe have Width show up and the image in the color show vertical. Also, since a dotplot has the same display options as a point, I think boxplots should have the line display options. Lastly, giving display options for outliers could be nice.

I noticed in my Classroom @Amplify Stream that I have few activities that say archived, when they are not. If I click on View Work, then it shows an empty dashboard. But if go directly to the activity, then choose dashboard, all of the student work is there. Strange.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

Update: My student let me know that those people were the only ones that qualified for day 3 - thus the reason for them being outliers. Also, there was a 5 fish limit each day. Here is the top 50 after two days, purple stars qualified for day 3.

Had students pick a song and use the lyric words lengths to create a game. I noticed that a spinner can really support the idea a discrete probability distribution. Before I would only show the graph (x, P(x)).

@desmosclassroom @Amplify Thanks for the feedback. The current structure of contact has a lot of clicks. Click on Profile (not intuitive) -> click on Help -> scroll to bottom click on Contact or click on more support -> click Contact.
Access to contact support after one click is possible.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

Is the @Amplify live chat available to all users or those that are licensed? I clicked on Live Chat, sent to my dashboard and nothing happened. Noticed in their support video that I don't have the Chat icon. Also, their support email refers to live chat.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

I don't expect to have Live Chat since I am not a "customer". But being more clear about who this is for would helpful. Lastly, the only place to find support is by clicking on Profile and seeing a help button on the very bottom.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

I wonder when the inference for the @desmos calculator will be added to @Amplify classroom. Hopefully, soon.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

@Desmos, when the seed is set for the random function then that value is in a list but not shown as a list. But also the list doesn't work. Previously, I think setting the seed behaved differently. Overall, strange to be shown a value but you cannot use it.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

@desmosclassroom Is there a place to give feedback and requests for the new @Amplify Classroom? For example, in the admin portal I can only edit or delete a student. I cannot see what email they used, I cannot go to a page of their work, and I cannot see what see students have been archived.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

What is your style for a t or z test? I like to show the distribution centered at the null. Centering at zero and using standard deviations feels like an outdated way of using tables. But maybe I am missing some thing? Which diagram would you want @desmos to show?

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

@TETH_Main Link not working?

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

What if @Desmos had the feature to export a confidence interval diagram? I would like to see a diagram of the distribution with 95% shaded. Maybe clicking on the distribution curve could bring up the lower and upper bounds, like how the peak of the distribution is shown.

[Luke Walsh @LukeSelfwalker]

Another push for @desmosclassroom to add the desmos 3D and geometry as a full screen option to the Activity Builder. Thanks!
