These are interactive activities that can be completed whole class or individually. The platform was designed specifically for math and to be intuitive. Students have access to tables, graphs, equation type, and free hand sketching.
Using Demos Activities is a strong way to support student thinking as well as include inquiry. Teachers can monitor (and even give feedback) as students work through the activity in real time. Teachers can pause or pace the activity if working on it synchronously and easily lead a discussion using Desmos snapshots of student work. The tools Desmos provides are specifically tailored to math, making this user-friendly for both teachers and students to engage with and explore concepts.
Getting started is really easy. You click on a teacher link. Assign it to your class and have students sign in with Google. Desmos recently added classes so that students can see all of their past activities
