Engage your Math Students with Desmos

As an online school leader I get to observe teachers from all content areas. Our math teachers like to use the free site Desmos. It allows students to have access to a variety of free calculators such as graphing, four function, scientific, etc. It also allow you to assign the students to show work on a problem while the teacher can see what the students are doing. In our virtual learning time, this is a great way to engage all learners at the same time.

The video above gives a nice overview of the functionality of the site.
