Desmos & Google Classroom

Saturday Google Meet starts 9/11/2021, 5:15:00 PM PST

If you teach math you MUST use Desmos. Let's go Back to Classroom and see how Desmos and Google Classroom work together so you can have an even better math class this year !

GeoGebra: Illustrative Math Curriculum

FREE!! Illustrative Math Curriculum for grades 6-12. Join Alice Keeler and Monique (from GeoGebra) to show how you can use this Free curriculum within http://geogebra.org/im

Polygraph for EVERYONE

During office hours Kristen wanted a fun activity to do with summer school so we designed a polygraph in Desmos that is NOT math!

Teaching Math with Google Apps and Desmos for Secondary

This was a 3 hour training for elementary math and science teachers.

Desmos - immediate feedbback

Desmos strongly suggests you do NOT give immediate right and wrong feedback on an answer, which is why this is not easily done in Desmos. Check out Dan Meyer's blog post on this https://blog.mrmeyer.com/2017/desmos-design-why-were-suspicious-of-immediate-feedback/

Why Card Sorts do not have immediate feedback: https://blog.mrmeyer.com/2020/the-1-most-requested-desmos-feature-right-now-and-what-we-could-do-instead/

We will discuss productive struggle and the perils of immediate feedback and when immediate feedback is beneficial.

We will look at having Desmos give immediate right / wrong feedback on participants' answers.

Desmos: Modify an Activity

If you are teaching math you want to be using Desmos. In this weeks webinar we will look at how to modify an existing activity. Last week we learned how to make a basic activity, this week we will show how to find an activity online that is cooler than the skills you have (or time you have :) and modify it to make it yours!

Desmos: Advanced Topics

What else can we learn about Desmos in this introduction to teaching with Desmos workshop? Note that we will NOT be covering the computation layer for Desmos.

Desmos: Make an Activity

Teaching Math with Desmos is a game changer. In this weeks Desmos webinar we will learn how to create basic activities in http://teacher.desmos.com. This will NOT cover the Computation Layer (CL).

GeoGebra: Free Math Curriculum with Illustrative Mathematics

Illustrative Mathematics is FREE math curriculum for grades K-12. GeoGebra is an interactive mathematics platform. Join Monique Zhou from GeoGebra and Alice Keeler to look at how you can use GeoGebra to deliver Illustrative Math to your students. This is for grades 6-8 and Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2. Join us for seeing how you can use this free resource!

EVERYONE Card Sorts: NOT MATH!

Do you teach any grade level any subject? This webinar is for you! We will use http://teacher.desmos.com to see how we can use the Desmos Teacher tool for NOT Math applications. Yes, by design Desmos is a math tool but it is easily hacked for NOT math activities. We will spend 30 minutes showing what teacher.desmos.com is and then stick around for questions and have you try making your own!

Desmos: Using teacher.desmos.com

Teaching with Desmos is a game changer!! Go to http://teacher.desmos.com to assign interactive activities for your students. As with all webinars, this is interactive and please ask questions!

Desmos: Show your THINKING

With tools like Photomath, Desmos, Google, or heck... even plain calculators the old way of doing math has become obsolete. We shift from "Show your work" to "Show your thinking." Help students to explain their STRATEGY and tell the story of their productive struggle journey with math.

Desmos: Math is About Pattern Finding

In this webinar we will practice getting started with Desmos. Take a look at some of the resources and tools. As always, webinars are interactive and questions are encouraged.

Graspable Math

Have you heard of https://graspablemath.com/ ? Help students be flexible with numbers! In this webinar you will be introduced to graspable math and how you might incorporate this into your math lessons. I will cover grade levels 3 to 12.

Workshop: Designing Your Own Geometry Puzzle in GeoGebra

I do not know about you but one of my favorite things in Geometry class was those puzzles that look like a giant scribble and you had to use the rules of Geometry to figure out the angle measure and lengths of sides and things like that. In this workshop you will first do one I made, bwahaha. I will put it in GeoGebra Notes! I think you will like using GeoGebra Notes. Then We will create one in GeoGebra.

GeoGebra

Google Meet starts 11/10/2020, 3:00:00 PM PST

Practice with a live class in GeoGebra Classroom

Duplicating in GeoGebra

GeoGebra is an awesome tool for ANY math teacher. K-12. In this webinar we discuss how to duplicate objects in GeoGebra.

Webinar: Math and Google Slides

Show your work is obsolete. I TELL my students to install photomath... they laugh because they already have it, no kidding.

I have a process for having students show their THINKING in Google Slides.

Rule 1) Take a selfie

Rule 2) Brain dump, what do you see

Rule 3) Google Something

Rule 4) Show your collaboration

Rule 5) Include screenshots of tools you use

Rule 6) All tools you use you must include a live hyperlink

I will give some samples of what this looks like for math slides.

Webinar: Using GeoGebra Notes

If your students have devices you want to check this out!!! It is FREE 100% It allows students to have a canvas to write on, multiple pages, embed video or web pages, even add a PDF. It's pretty awesome!
