Circular Thinking | von Desmos
https://vondesmos.wordpress.com/2016/03/15/circular-thinking
Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. March 15, 2016. March 17, 2016. My freshman geometry class has been asking me all year when we would be able to use Desmos (they know how much I love it.) Now is there time. We are doing a whole unit on coordinate geometry, and so we’ve been Desmos-ing it up. Here’s the activity we did in class: Circles Activity. 8230;and that led to a quick exploration of cycloids and epicycloids…. Let me know in the comments! March 15, 2016 at 1:59 ...

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. Illustrating Volumes of Solids with Known Cross Sections. January 6, 2017. January 8, 2017. My posts are few and far between these days. I hope that changes soon, but for now, it’s just a post here and there when I can. And today I can! Let me share some fun Desmos-ing with you! A new Desmos feature: how to use labels! Attending to the clarity and usability of graphs. Fun cross-sectional solids graphs to play with! Wanted an awesome D...

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. Tracing Parametrics, Chains of Events, and Constructing a Pentagon. February 23, 2016. March 17, 2016. Last week I attended a PD session by Suzanne Gaskell, an art teacher at the high school where I teach. She presented on a work of art she has created and calls the Kavad of a Sacred Geometer. It inspired me to create an illustration of the construction for a regular polygon using Desmos. Here’s what I came up with. February 22, 2016.

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. Ideas for Desmos PD Day. January 31, 2016. February 8, 2016. On Feb. 16, I will be running a PD session for my department on how to use Desmos effectively in the classroom. So far, here’s the plan:. Give teachers a student code and have them try an activity that is designed as a tutorial for the calculator and graphing pages. ( Try it at student.desmos.com. This collection of slides is intended to spark imagination for what a teacher ...

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. February 22, 2016. March 17, 2016. You can now hide student names by clicking on the little dude with the hat in the corner! Desmos will (temporarily) change the names of the students to the names of famous mathematicians. Now you can show the class what they’re all working on while keeping the students’ identities hidden.

Desmos for Newbies | von Desmos

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. If you’re new to Desmos, you’re in for a treat! It’s everything you ever wanted a graphing calculator to be. It’s intuitive and downright fun. Many people begin learning about Desmos without any official help, just trying it out. The Desmos team has worked hard to make it as user friendly as possible. And I think they’ve succeeded. But if you’d like a more structured approach, here’s my advice! Not sure where to start? Graphing should...

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. April 6, 2016. April 6, 2016. It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted. Things have been BUSY! I have been Desmos-ing quite a bit, just haven’t had a chance to write about it. Here’s a little post about one illustration I enjoyed creating on Desmos lately. In Pre-Calculus, the students at our school are just beginning to learn various counting principles and ways to calculate probabilities. Here’s a fun little Desmos graph.

Ideas for teaching, for learning, and for fun. For the Love of Desmos. July 19, 2016. July 19, 2016. Due to an incredibly busy end to the school year and start to the summer, I’ve been MIA, with no new blog posts in a few months. But I’m back. This post is inspired by a gif my brother-in-law shared with me from Beautiful Engineering’s Facebook page. Here it is. In the comments, someone mentioned that it looked like one leg of a walking machine. Illustrating Volumes of Solids with Known Cross Sections.

Coffee into Theorems
I just used a mathlet I found online: "Triangles By Side" (source: Math Hombre. In a lesson for geometry. (uploaded here: http:/ scottfarrar. The worksheet http:/ scottfarrar. It worked very well. 0 This was our second day on triangles so I had not used the vocab for each category. I purposely left it to the end of class then we all labeled each category as a class. Students worked in pairs, 1 computer per pair. 2 Its kind of a shame that the 3,4,5. And 6,8,10. Integer lengths for c. A kid says if a=4.
Coffee to Theorems
Scott Farrar – thoughts on teaching, technology, education, and math itself. If Triangle Proofs are the aspirin, what is the headache? And has 5 comments. Prove that two triangles are congruent. Sometimes seen as the “first real proofs” of a Geometry course (but they should probably not be the first proofs done, and the types usually done aren’t much of proofs– but let that be for now). How do you get students to feel the need to prove? Do we want to show triangles congruent? How can we make a student.
