Desmos is an incredible tool that can diversify the way we teach and the way our students learn mathematics. In this session, we will explore the basics of what Desmos activities are, how to use them, and the teacher/student view for the activities. The Desmos library is full of amazing activities, and together we will […]
Desmos activities can be used as a warm-up, lesson activity, exit ticket, or assessment, and in this session, we will cover the basics of creating your very own activities using the Desmos Activity Builder. From starter screens to checking for understanding, we will go over each component and tool that allows us to create activities […]
Do you understand the basics of creating Desmos activities? Well, now let’s kick it up a notch! In this session, we will focus on working with the computation layer of Desmos. The Computation Layer can self-check a student’s work, give students feedback OR allow students to build on their work from a previous slide. How […]
In this session we will learn how we can use GeoGebra to actively engage students in remote learning settings. We’ll learn how GeoGebra Classroom empowers teachers to foster active, student-centered, discovery learning while teachers monitor and formatively assess the progress of all students in real time without the hassle of having students screen share or […]
In this session we will learn how to copy and edit any public GeoGebra resource we find in order to differentiate each student’s (or group of students’) level of active engagement within the discovery learning process. We’ll take specific public activities relevant to any course and transform them to reach learners with a wide range […]
In this session we will explore how GeoGebra Notes can serve as a powerful platform for teachers to build explorations for students and groups of students. We will learn how to build interactive lessons within GeoGebra Notes where students can work individually or (coming soon: collaboratively)! If the collaboration (multiple users working together in the […]
Let’s talk about supervision, evaluation, curriculum, and online and hybrid pedagogy best practices. Join us for a sharing session to brainstorm what K-12 mathematics education leadership looks like in 2021 and beyond.
Whether you are teaching virtually, hybrid, or in-person, Algebra 1 teachers need to figure out how to effectively lay the foundation for all upper-level mathematics courses. Let’s talk about assessments, best practices, curriculum, etc., in the Algebra 1 classroom. If you teach Algebra 1 it is a great opportunity for everyone to share their ideas, […]
Special education mathematics teachers are important partners in educating all of our mathematics learners. Come with your collaborative teacher and share ideas, insights, and resources.
