Thank you for asking this question! I didn't even realize I have NOTHING on this topic in @desmos yet on this topic until I went to add the responses to my collections.

I can't imagine a better asynchronous math activity than this. It's the classic "Four Fours" task, now in @Desmos w/ 👉 Student avatars. 👉 Answer recording. 👉 Classroom leaderboard. Awesome work from @KenClarkson3. #iteachmath teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

I'm looking for an activity to do remotely with 8th grade Math 1 Ss on Proving Quadrilaterals & Triangles in the Coordinate Plane. Anyone have suggestions? #iteachmath #MTBoS #remotelearning

So much more interesting than your normal missing angle task. #mtbos #iteachmath

"It's not uncommon for students to graduate from high school believing that every math problem can be solved in 30 seconds or less. And if they don't know the answer, they're just not a math person," said @MathforLove #edchat #mathchat #mtbos kqed.org/mindshift/53404/why…

Why Normalizing Struggle Can Create a Better Math Experience for Kids | KQED

Educators and parents can encourage kids to have better attitudes towards math by giving them space and time to wrestle with the math.

Last year I saw another educator design a video similar to this. I just recreated it digitally. I think this could be a powerful way to show the angle relationships with parallel lines cut by a transversal. #iteachmath #MSmathChat #mtbos 🧠💚

I love Polygraph and so do my students. #doublewin

What do you get when you mix Guess Who & math? You get @Desmos' Polygraph to help students develop need for precise vocab. teacher.desmos.com/search?q=… #iteachmath #MTBoS

I don't trust your ideas about teaching if they depend on knowledge being "basic" or not. 👉 "Students need to know the basics and THEN we'll let them do interesting stuff." All knowledge seems basic after you know it. All the stuff should be interesting.

The standard I hold for all math classes and instructors is to include this statement in your syllabus AND actually live up to It. There’s more than one way to be a math doer and perfectionism isn’t one. #MathForAll #Respect ift.tt/2ZC4WD7
