@SomeGuy523036 @John_F_kJr What a terrible comment. It tells more about the poster than of the situation.

@realJ_Mitchell Ugh!

@Desmos Does this mean that I have to unretire? Looks like too much fun!!
Bravo Desmos!
I'll still play with it and hopefully create something 😉

@OPCouncil Campaigns to support families would also have a positive effect on behavior of children and youth. Education begins at home.

@Christophe_Sew
Hello. I have borrowed some awesome activities you have created in desmos, thanks for the creativity!

I think that when there's a function with e^x, there may be an error.
I checked but can't figure it out, so I am reaching out.

@kmtobe
Thank you for a very well thought out and executed desmos activity on evaluating limits. Brilliant! https://t.co/1xbQOtIo3u

@noecar82 @davidwees Pues venga...

@Benjami03859687 @davidwees I think you are being too hard on yourself. It seems to me that you have developed mathematical abilities that support your activities. Many people wish to be able to manipulate fractions fluidly.

@davidwees David Burton, The History of Mathematics: An Introduction.
Comprehensive historical development since earliest times. IMO it is well chronicled and not biased.

@drcathybruce Lovely pic, thanks for sharing.

@realJ_Mitchell Bravo. So far from what I witness near me:
"With curriculum so tightly pack how can you have time to play or do this desmos activities. You are not preparing these students for university or college".
This is why twitter is a professional lifeline for me.
Muchas gracias.

@realJ_Mitchell I am curious to see which schools will or already have had their students complete the test. Our school is not, the decision was left to Principals.

[Alfonso Garcia @agvplays]

@Errs5 @ddmeyer @MathletePearce Thanks Coach. Lots of wonderings, but like @MathletePearce, not publishable!

Tough to get them of the hamster wheel. Reassuring them that this test is really unimportant in their future was nowhere near well received. The value placed on EQAO outcomes is just absurd.

[Alfonso Garcia @agvplays]

@calphonso 1/2
Our school decided no EQAO Math test this quad, which imo is a wise decision. What I find fascinating is the level of relief for some students contrasted with high anxiety in others worried that they will write later. It's seems there's a great deal of parental pressure.
