Sometimes, it helps to have a bit more confidence in those intersection points. Investigate points of interest with up to 5 decimal places & copyable points, just in time for the new school year! 🎉 Check out the What's New page & always stay in the know: help.desmos.com/hc/en-us/art…

I know right! Either all math peeps look like Brad Pitt, or Brad Pitt looks like all math peeps. It does have a correlation coefficient of 1.

We do work in a profession that encourages "borrowing" of intellectual properties to help kids. Feel free to borrow my stuff as long as you tell everyone that the guy you got it from looks like Brad Pitt. 😀

Why has @Amplify prevented teachers from searching for free teacher created desmos activities via google? @Mathgarden @ddmeyer @Desmos @MrCorleyMath

Can I DM you to ask some more questions?

Can you figure out what's causing the area of these shapes to seemingly change even though they are just being rearranged? Try it for yourself and see if you can explain the paradox at: teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

I just go back to my college geometry teacher who taught compass constructions. "Remember, thick lines cover a lot of inaccuracies." 😀

I've been told and just checked, that using an advanced Google search and using the site as teacher.desmos.com will work.

We need a quick video walking people through that process. @desmos should take the lead on this.

Hey @Amplify @desmos! Please revert the SEO Google search block for teacher created activities. Right now we can't find each other's awesome content. In the meantime, everyone share your @desmos collections. Teachers need access now! Monday comes quick!docs.google.com/presentation…

Exactly. So why has @Amplify chosen to do this? $$$$$$$$$$

Don't know. Could be a house-of-cards scenario where one small adjustment in one area completely wrecks something else. I'm assuming positive intent that it will be rectified later. Right know we need to encourage everyone to share desmos collections. Monday comes quick!

Yes it true @alicekeeler. Try a search on Google for desmos activities (insert any math content) and you will get no free ones created by teachers. @Amplify needs a better response than we changed the SEO rules.

Thankfully if you had previous links saved, you will be OK. However, the big problem is finding new, open source content. There is some amazing work done out there, and it now has become infinitely more difficult to find it.

OK. Short term fixes to help teachers right now. Everyone share collections. Here is the Texas Region 11 Desmos Resources. It is aligned to Texas TEKS, but it has activities for 4th grade to Pre-Calculus. docs.google.com/presentation…

Yeah, definitely seems like a work flow thing. Nice to have people think of how to use the platform in a different way too.

Right!

Replying to @NerdPropellant
Hmmm, good question. I don't think anything, but maybe putting it there will make people more aware that they don't need to assign the activity.

Present goes straight to full screen. Student screen preview is a small window that pops up over the teacher page that you can expand. It looks a lot like a shortcut
