@SustainTeaching Currently 38 in 8th grade math. Back when I first started teaching, 20-ish years ago, I taught algebra 1 to freshmen with a class size of 20. It was amazing!

It's crazy how such a minor tweak like labeling problems as mild, medium, and spicy drastically improves student engagement by giving them choice. From @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom #cmcsouth

@cmmteach @MrCorleyMath @MrDeltaMath That would really help! Love DeltaMath for our concepts students in middle school but sometimes the fractions can become overwhelming.

Math is more than answer-getting which is why our curriculum asks students for ...

👉 sketches
👉 estimates
👉 processes
👉 and much more!

Come learn more at an info session to explore our Desmos 6-8 Curriculum and Algebra 1: https://t.co/zGvNX9RPwU

Big news: Polypad now supports 3D geometry! 🎉⚽️🎁 Use one of our built-in solids, or create your own net using polygon tiles. Then click “fold” and watch the magic happen…

I'm convinced teachers will have a much easier upcoming year if they understand math as a good TV show and understand students as having missed a couple of episodes. More here. 👇 https://t.co/8Dq7IC7nbR

💯 Yes!

Today's PSA: "Learning Loss" is a made-up construct and only serves to deflate students, educators, and caregivers. It invalidates their hard work and resiliency, ignores all the learning that happened, and adds unnecessary stress. #remotelearning #education

[S De La Fuente @Mrs_DLF]

@ClaireVerti @Desmos Very slow here 😬

[S De La Fuente @Mrs_DLF]

@chuckcbaker @Desmos Yes! Just discovered that this morning (and came to Twitter to find out how recently this sweet update came out) 👏👏

[S De La Fuente @Mrs_DLF]

@mathycathy @Desmos I just noticed this yesterday when making an activity and wondered, has this always been here? Nope! Always getting better, thanks @Desmos

[S De La Fuente @Mrs_DLF]

@kurt_salisbury @Desmos I sure wouldn’t want to be using anything else either! It’s the best!

[S De La Fuente @Mrs_DLF]

@rawrdimus @Desmos Love it! My 7th graders make the most of every @desmos screen with a sketch option, SS are the best!
