Desmos “Top 5” Handout – share for Desmos beginners

Desmos Bingo – Created by Michael Fenton and the Twitter Math Camp crew. Progress through, beginner, advanced and legend tasks.  Great for school PD!

Desmos Bank – teacher-created Desmos links. Searchable by subject and topic. Thanks to Jed Butler for creating this excellent resource.

learn.desmos.com – new to the Desmos game, or looking to sharpen your skills?  This is your one-stop shop of hints, ideas, and activities.  Use the resources to run your own self-directed PD session.

teacher.desmos.com – try Desmos-created activities with your class.  The famous Penny Cirlce, Function Carnival and Polygraphs.  Then try your hand at making your own with the new activity builder.  Here are a few activities I have used in my classes, from algebra 1 through statistics.  To experience them as a student click the “as a student” link, or “steal” them using the links I’ve provided and edit them as you see fit. Enjoy!

A collection of links I have created for and used in my classroom, featuring the Desmos online graphing calculator: https://www.desmos.com/.  Many of these are simple demonstrations you can use in classroom lessons.  I often share them with students on Edmodo to have students follow along with flipped videos, or to allow students to recap ideas we have learned.

Looking forward to populating this further!  Contact me if you have any links to add and share, or if there is anything you would like to see.
